GPW - Thanks for your approval. It takes a load off of my mind. I'm really trying not to overbuild as is my tendency, yet I don't want to build too light and have it fail. You seem to have struck the balance that I haven't been able to do yet.
Wobbly - The dowels are certainly a consideration, I will look at when the walls are up and before I seal the inside walls. Thanks for the sketch up reminder. I played with it for a while and I do think it's a whole lot better program than Paint. As far as a covering, I'm going light. I'm looking at 1.4 oz cloth set in TB2 instead of epoxy like GPW did in his build although he only used the fiberglass tape in the corners. I think I would get the same ultimate result without the expense and major mess of epoxy
Mezmo, I'm planning on lining the interior with a very thin plywood, maybe some paneling if I can find some that doesn't look tacky. Maybe FRP panels. Somewhat up in the air! Just something to provide a bit of additional strength and rigidity
Thanks for the thought about bonding the foam to the frame, I hadn't thought about the moisture and grime. I will definitely bond the foam to metal somehow.
Thanks for all the replies. It's nice not to have to rely on my own thinking!
