Corrugated plastic shelters
Found this site while surfing around. Might give someone ideas for making a small observing shelter. Lots of other interesting projects on the site as well.

Re: Corrugated plastic shelters
These panels are light weight, the 0.393" thickness has 1/3 the weight of 7/16" particle board and are water proof too. Unfortunately they are not UV proof. I don't know if they can be protected by a coating. I'll keep them in mind for my project. Thanks for the idea!Chich wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 3:51 am Found this site while surfing around.
