Making a generic 4ft tall Benroy 5ft tall?

Postby KDOG » Tue Mar 27, 2007 8:59 am

Would like to make mine with a little more head room so I'm thinking of making it 5 foot tall. Doesn't seem too difficult, I just need to make sure I put double wide spars up the sides of the seams on the inside. Thinking of using 1x3s for that. Gonna take a little more plywood to do it though. Anything wrond with this idea?

On second though, I'm getting ahead of myself. I should probably just keep to using a 4 foot height to keep the complexity, cost and weight down.

kdog,

nothing wrong with changing your mind a few times.

But tell me, what will you gain by going 5' high?

I went 5' high so I could put a table inside...

And I would do it again...
