I am getting ready to build a small box stand (4x6) to put at one of my spots. What are some ideas for siding besides plywood? I went to Lowes yesterday to price it out in my head so I can budget, and I guess the price per sheet has gone way up since I bought any. The cheap/thin stuff was like $20 a sheet. 4 sheets and one for the floor, I am looking at $100 minimum in that alone

I have been looking at the same prices....I thought about just building the platform and putting a pop up on it. I did look into some Corrugated PVC/Metal Roof Panels but it didn't seem to save any money because they only ran 24 to 26 wide.

Once you start throwing in the cost of 2x4's for framing, roofing and hardware for windows/doors + the life expectancy...the prefab doesn't look bad cost wise. Especially if you have to get all the wood at retail prices.
