When I cut, I use the following sizes :

 

5 pieces.....14.25" x 28.5"

2 pieces.....14.25 x 65"

This leaves an approx. gap of 4" or so at the bottom, which lifts the bottom box off the ground, and I just cover the gap in with plywood. I would also advise 'pushing the boat out' a bit, by using 18mm plywood. IMHO.

PS These measurements suit the standard plastic widowhood fronts, not the rounded plastic ones.

i would not use chip board go with plywood it will last longer chip board does not like water it will swell and crumble
