I'm looking at running up to the cities before the snow flies, and possibly picking up stuff for a box while I'm there. I'm looking at a straight 12 footer. I have all the lumber, but nothing else. Can somebody give some approximate guess at how much I would be spending?

top sheets arnt cheap. i just got back from home depot looking to get some lexan but to completely cover my box it was gonna cast me 115 bucks. i got this hard ass plastic pannel board. it looks like its gonna work. it was 30 bucks and i went at it with my ski a hammer and a knife and it didnt peel up like plexi does. ill let you know if it works.

you could buy steel coping and use that, or angle iron the sides because it sticks up
