Recommended Materials

This courier box is framed from common lumber and sheeted with plywood or another suitable exterior sheeting or paneling material.

That makes it a practical build for woodworkers who want a strong package delivery box without relying on expensive specialty lumber. The exterior can also be painted or finished to match the home, garage, cabin, or delivery area where it will be used.

For outdoor use, choose materials and finishes that are suitable for your local weather conditions.

The build is designed for woodworkers with basic tools and beginner-to-intermediate woodworking experience. The plans include a full cut list, detailed diagrams, and full-scale templates for shaping the angled frame and flap components.
