Build the box from a 4 x 8-ft. sheet of 3/4-in. plywood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard; $30). Glue in wood battens at vertical corners for additional strength. Fasten with 2-in. screws. We lined ours with carpet scraps for extra muffling. Cut them to size and glue them to the box with construction adhesive. Use strap hinges on the door so the screws drive through the face of the door and box side. Avoid butt hinges because there’s little holding power for screws driven into the edge of plywood or MDF.
