I needed a large esky for Christmas day but couldn't afford one so bought an 80 litre storage tub from Bunnings, filled with ice it worked well. I decided to build a timber box and frame around it with a lid and packed the sides with styrene foam. Painted to match my outdoor furniture and I am very happy with the results. Stays cold and lasts as long as any cooler. I already had the offcuts of timber and left-over paint so just a cheap and simple project.
