The trick
Give the load no floor of its own. Stand the little cabin's four walls straight onto the flat bed tiles, so the deck you already laid becomes its floor and pins it down.
What you will need
- 15 square tiles
- 2 triangle tiles
Step by step
1. Lay the flat bed
Put four squares flat in a row. This whole strip is the truck bed.
2. Build the cab
Stand four walls at the front and cap them with a lid. That is the driver's cab.
3. Stand the load
Two squares back, stand four walls straight up on the bed to make a little cabin. It uses the bed as its floor.
4. Pitch the roof
Lean two squares together over the cabin so they meet in a ridge down the middle.
5. Close the ends
Fill each open end of the roof with a triangle so the little cabin is shut tight.
