Final size: 120cm x 60cm planed timber frame.
Cuts: 2 x 1200mm + 2 x 530mm cuts
Sides:
Material: 2-3mm fibre/plyboard.
Cuts: 2 x 1200mm x 110mm 2x 600mm x 110mm
Change the 110mm to whichever thickness you want.
Filling:
Recycled denim insulation
Hemp/wood fibre insulation
Cellulose batt Insulation
Recycled foam/fabric slabs
Check the spec sheets and feel free to send a comment on this video and I'll check it out too.
Fabric:
Update 2023 - Camira and other fabric sellers are raising the price of Cara (possibly due to this video or possibly just price gouging).
I no longer recommend Camira if the price stays high (£16 per meter right now).
Original - I use Camira fabrics. There sell lots of suitable options and my favourite is Cara in Black (code EJ138). You can find it much cheaper from local suppliers (hence why my price is lower in the video and I made an edit!)
Additional tools:
Mask and gloves for woodwork
Stapler
Hand saw (or get the timber cut at the shop)
Hammer and nails are optional
Electric drill
Countersink and drill bits
