Stock Trailer Hunting Shack

[TeamTomlyn]

Long story short I have insulated the interior of my stock trailer and now I need to "skin" the interior to hold the insulation in and give it a cleaner look. It needs to be able to hold up to the weather but other than that anything will do. I've found some 4x8 plastic bathroom wall panels for $20 at lowes, but was hoping our brain trust here might have a better / cheaper idea. Thanks in advance for any and all help!!!

How much area do you need to cover ? I might be able to fix you up with some 26g sheet metal if that's to your liking. Again might. Your not far from shawnee so not too far a travel. Either free or cheap .

I've seen some pretty decked out trailers. Wish I have room to store on on my property, HOA won't allow it. A couple of the ones I saw used the OSB boards. HD have them for like $15 per 4 x8 sheet.

I am in Shawnee as we speak
I was guessing 8-10 4x8 sheets of whatever material I can come across. I know that is a lot of square footage though. If you can come across that much free or cheap material let me know and I will certainly make use of it. I hadn't thought of just plain sheet metal...good thinkin!

Yeah my goal is to keep it kinda modular and use it as a stock trailer (for the rare occasion I need it) or to sleep in while out hunting. That way I might wear out a set of tires before they dry rot. I will try to get some pictures of it later.

I considered OSB but I am worried that the moisture will degrade them pretty quick. But that is $5 cheaper than the other stuff so finances might make that decision for me lol

Marine varnish or paint will stop that.

How long of a trailer ? How tall of a wall needs covered ?

There are a bunch of free church Pews on craigslist.
in Prague.
I think those pews are probably long and have good wooden back and sides and an upholstered back and bottom you could have an upholstered ceiling if you do it right.
