i have built one or two and the best advice i can tell you is keep it light and simple, there is a material called di-bond look at your local sign shops thats what my box is made out and that stuff is really light and really cool stuff, its only about 80$ for a 4x8 sheet.

cole, if you go .125 or even .100 and do a good job tig welding it, you shouldnt need any supports, design is everything and there are many good dogboxes on this site, good luck and show us how it turns out when you finish. vaughn nielson
