My neighbor asked if I could build this cooler for his sister’s birthday present with no instructions as to what he wanted for a design, so I designed as I built. Some minor surgery on the cooler was required, removal of the handles, hinges mostly, and some slight modifications to the sides to square up the chest.
The drain is attached with 5/8" clear tubing to the cooler and a pvc fitting to the valve
He picked a 5 day cooler approx 42”x18”x20” and the overall height with legs is 38”. Hope they ice down plenty of cold ones for the party.
Nice job, what was your material cost?
ReplyDelete$115 in cedar, the customer supplied the cooler and he wanted to pick the handle for the lid.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I've been thinking of making something like this for awhile now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daris, I had a good time building this project.
ReplyDeleteWut do u need to do the drainage part
ReplyDeleteOn that one I used a plastic tube and hose clamps. Others I've done sine I used a galvanized pipe 3-1/2", the washer that is on the inside of the cooler and a galvanized nut. Each cooler will be different so you have to measure.
