In this project I used reclaimed 5/8″ thick x 6″ Wide x 8′ long cedar fence boards. I ran the boards through the planer to make the edges smooth and bring the life back to the cedar. I didn’t list a lot of measurements due to the fact of when you build a cooler box, the size really lies on how big your cooler is. I just built the cooler box around my old cooler. I used mostly glue and brad nails so you wouldn’t see all of the screws. Plus the brads almost vanish into the dark cedar that I used.
All in all the cooler box is a lot stronger than I had anticipated and is holding up well….oh, did I mention that it looks great too!!
Thanks for watching!

Thank you Popo for the outstanding video. Made it easy to follow along with also. Your cooler stand looks great also.
Have to make one of these for our camp nice job
Looks great! Pocket hole screws would work on parts of the frame also.
That thing is slicker than a toad fart! It looks really good.
looks nice, but if you measure the slats ahead of time you can simply cut them in the size that would fit inside evenly without having to make thin slats and it will all be the same…..also wheels would be good for it it you used 2×4 so that on the bottom of the feet it has enough to attach wheels to them….looks nice tho.
it looks great but i would put wheels on it to make easy to move around
Hey POPO, you have shared a very easy step by step on how to build them Thanks!! I have made about 10 70 qrts already in the past year but now that I have a special order for a 150 qrt one; you think the picket fence will hold that much weight or what would you recommend?
Turned out real nice!! Thanks for sharing
Do you have plans for it?
U got it friend
Good job! I like it. Quick,simple, n best of all cheap lol! Pocket holes will help hide screws n stronger joints as well.
Awesome. I like your build the best of all I have looked at. Iām definitely gonna build the way you did. Thanks for the video.
Awesome work!!
