Here are a couple more pics. The bed was made with 3/4" plywood and has a removable support underneath

I should add that this shack was designed to use the least amount of plywood and lumber possible in order to keep the weight down. It's probably around 500 pounds without the stove or battery. Easy to slide around on the ice or pull with a quad. The floor is 5/8" treated plywood. Walls, roof and seats are 3/8" plywood with 2x2 structure. Ridge beam is a 2x4, skids are 4x4 treated.

With 1.5" of rigid insulation it stays nice and warm even down to -25. I burn Canawick pressed wood logs in it that last about 8 hours and allow us to sleep all night without getting up to fill the stove.
