How to Build a Snowboard Box

with 25 comments

This video is probably the best How To Make A Snowboard Box video on youtube!

I GOT SICK AND TIRED OF TRYING TO FIND A VIDEO THAT EXPLAINED HOW TO BUILD A SNOWBOARD BOX, SO I MADE ONE MYSELF!

I hope that this video helped you get started. As you know from the video, the box that I made is:
14 feet long
2 feet wide
3 feet tall

When you are building your box you will want to take shortcuts. DONT! So many people end up just wanting to ride their box, and end up making it 4 feet shorter, or not buying the right stuff for the top of the box because they have to order it. Just take your time and it will eventually be finished.

Alot of people ask me how much it costs to build a box. The box that I built in the video cost me around 800$. Here is how it all broke down:
250$= pressure treated 2×4′s for the frame
100$= pressure treated wood pannels for the sides and top
400$= HDPE sheets for the top of the box.(I used two sheets one was 6 feet and one was 8 feet, they made up the 14 feet on top of the box.
50$ = the paint, hinges, and the handles for the side of the box.

**** THE ONLY REASON WHY IT COST ME ALOT OF MONEY WAS BECAUSE I USED PRESURE TREAT EVERYTHING, TO TRY TO PROTECT IT BETTER. BUT IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY THEN DONT GET PRESSURE TREATED 2×4′s. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR PLYWOOD IS PRESSURE TREATED!!!

(it does not have to cost this much, you can use trex instead of HDPE but it does not work as good, also I spent allot of money on the looks of the box, just cause I wanted it to look sick)

**so basically dont ur panys when you see that i spent 800$ on it, u could probably cut the price to about 4 maybe even 300 $ and still have an ill box

In the end it was worth the money though.

People also ask me if it was difficult to build.

I am a 16 year old teenager, and i built the whole thing. IT IS NOT HARD TO DO!

And also I am not the best snowboarder.. so dont even think about chirping my skill, I couldnt care less if I do a sketchy boardslide, or if my weight isnt centered, this was my first time ever on the box, and their was no snow at all! so dont chirp, get off ur and do something… I built an amazing box, so think about that.
