Pine boards form the body of this 54-quart patio cooler, and the grain stays visible under the finish instead of being hidden by paint. Three materials do the insulating work: foam, an EPS board and a food-grade PP liner, which together keep drinks cold for 3 to 4 hours below 86 degrees F and snacks warm for the same span above 50 degrees F. Filling the chest to at least 35 percent ice gives the best result. The 21 by 13 by 12.5 inch interior takes roughly 70 cans of 320 ml, enough for a deck party without a second trip indoors. Three handles are set into the sides so two people can move the 29.5-pound chest together, and a bottle opener is fixed to the frame. Four thickened legs raise the lid to 29 inches, a comfortable serving height. The footprint is 26.5 by 18.5 inches.
