Hey everyone, I was wondering is anyone has dimensions for building a box? Oh yeah for all you smart asses who are going to say "Search bar", I looked at a lot of the threads about building boxes and there are no dimensions. Thanks Jim

boxes are hella expensive to build. and the topsheet is a shitload of money. just build a rail it will be cheaper and easier trick options on it

seriously though, just figure it out. I build all my shit without plans or any previous thought. It doesn't take a genious to build a box or anything of that matter.

I found that most people make their first box/rail wayyy too short.

I would go

10 inches wide
30 feet long
1-1.5 feet tall

If you're planning on moving it easily and all that jazz, make 2 15footers. That way you can put them together as a 30ft flat or set them up in any other shape.

For starters don't listen to that kid, they aren't that expensive and you can find topsheets that don't cost too much. Okay so the dimensions of the box should be 12ft long, 1ft - 2ft wide and 18in tall. I can answer any other questions that you have.

You're really going to regret making it 12ft long. I would go much longer, so you can get switchups and get some setup time for spins on/off.
