[QUOTE="jeff150, post: 753452, member: 1403"] Mine are on 16" centers. I didn't want to lose any width by adding a premade box so I used the crossmembers themselves as the "frame" and just added 1/2" marine plywood to the bottom underneath them. I set my skill saw depth to match the floor and cut it in the middle of the crossmember. Once I cut it out, I added the piano hinge to the piece I cut out and trimmed the rest with aluminum. That way the lid sits on top of and is supported by the crossmembers when closed. For a handle, I just drilled a hole in the top and made a loop with a knot out of some paracord [/QUOTE]
