In reply to the discussion: Shovel snow off driveway with a piece of plywood [View all]LuckyCharms
(17,236 posts)33. You know, you could cut a 4 x 8 sheet lengthwise...
to maybe 3 feet instead of 4 feet to reduce the weight. To further reduce the weight, you could crosscut it to reduce it from maybe 8 feet to 7 feet or 6 feet.
You could then rig up some sort of handle system to make it more manageable. You could then cut a shallow bevel of the bottom to aid in the snow removal. Then maybe even put a metal lip on the bottom.
Thanks for posting this...this is actually a good idea in my opinion.
