4 X 8 pieces of plywood only design

Postby Gerald_G » Fri Jun 02, 2006 1:11 pm

Has anyone come up with a design that can use a single sheet of 4 X 8 plywood for the floor, and also the same for the walls ?

I have pasted in a sketch of something I was thinking would work OK.

Walls and floors could be made of a single sheet each.

I like the hatch design on weekender for simple construction, straight pieces only for the hatch, with simple supports needed for the angle position.

Just posting this here for comments etc...

I just came out of hiding and posted some Sketchup drawings I did for a quick simple one person tear in my album. Nothing over 4 X 8 but the trailer. GREAT Forum here by the way.

Gerald...most all of the original TD designs were 4x8 to take advantage of standard sized sheet goods...in the interest of roominess these designs have been streched to 5 wide and 10 long...most of these later designs can be shrunk down to 4x8...our Alligator Tear is 4x8....

...My TD is of the 4X8 design ...floor and both walls..see my album..

Two sleep comfortably..albeit cozily..uses regular foam mattress designed for a 3/4 bed. ..48" X 72".. so we squeeze a bit on either side..

There must be many more..I believe the Cubby plans are like that..

Mine is also a 4x8 design. Just room for one, but that's all I need. You can see what I have so far in my album.

Mine is also Based on 4 x 8.
Plenty of room if you think ahead and plan right.
(I didn't and had to change a couple of things)
Check out my album for finished pics. :)

Gerald,

The Cubby from Kuffel Creek is a 4x8. Look at my 'www' to see mine. The frame is a HF 4x8 (shortened a couple of inches) and the floor is a single 4x8 sheet of plywood and each side is from a single 4x8 sheet!

Check it out here for plans: Cubby
