homemade washout booth. Nothing beautimus but it works.

I used old scrap aluminum signboards, treated 2x4s and a truck load of caulk.  I've used it 3 or 4 times and so far no leaks.  I looked at buying a stainless 4x4 backlit for $1350.00 but ended up making this one that is backlit 4'x5'.  All in all I have $160.00 in the project and it will serve me just fine.  Just thought I'd show our hillbilly construction.

looks good, but what really matters is if it works great.

Nice.  We have one fancy pants cci stainless, backlit one that is for degrease and resolving and then a friggin shower stall framed in 2x4s for the reclaim both.   They both work great but one cost a lot less.

I agree with the cost less.  I've used corrugated plastic and 2x4s for the washout room walls with just a tad of caulk "about 16 tubes.

Lookin' good.  We didn't have free time to make one, so we bought one of the fancy ones.  It is pretty nice though.

Hey I have that same pressure washer, works great and has lasted a lot longer than others that i have had in the past. I made my booth out of a double utility sink, 3/8" plastic core board that is transparent and a ton of hot glue. Works great for me.

Looks nice--the huge light panel on the back is sweet.

I just finished a cut list for washout booth mark two myself--hopefully the slow season holds out long enough to do it this year.

Our business is starting to pick up quite a bit but thankfully the jobs haven't been rush jobs so I decided to knock it out while I had the time.  That booth took me about 4 1/2 hours to build.

how are you draining it

[Doug S]

how are you draining it

Running into the main sewer which is what we did last year.  We had to get permission from the city and do some major concrete busting.

... can't tell if you have a platform in the bottom of the booth, but getting your screen up 8-10 inches off the bottom of the booth makes for a nicer washout (less blowback & contamination).

here is my homemade...
washout and dip tank total spent maybe $250

Looking at yours makes me want to unpost my pics.  Very nice build.

that baby looks great..

[screenprintguy]

jason, how did you do the tank, wood and then fiberglass and gel coat the inside to waterproof and chem proof it? cool man. Every day I walk back to my easy way dip tank it seems to be bulging more and more. lol. I'm gonna do a clean rinse booth soon using a IBC 275 gal poly IBC tote. Cut the steel cage around it in half to use as a stand, then cut a big hole in the front to lay the screen in. The tanks already have a 2" drain hole in the bottom that a drain pipe or big dump hose can go on. Instead of another $1500 bucks on a screen klean system booth like I have now, a clean used IBC tote is about 10 bucks and then about 30 mins with a saws-all and plumb a drain.
