[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8831216, member: 614752"] I've got a pallet made out of basically the same composition out here as part of a wall on a duck house and its in its 4th winter now holding up fine outside. Definitely nothing like MDF and really if you have enough water getting into your car to sponge up MDF you've got bigger problems. Again, the point isn't to run out and use that necessarily (it is a nightmare to work with, but I had several sheets left over from a flooring project) it's that you shouldn't need to pay 200$ a sheet for imported wood to build a sturdy and functional box. Or put another way, over-paying on fancy plywood isn't going to be your silver bullet to fix skimping out on layers and/or bracing where appropriate. It's not going to be magic and everybody underestimates how much this sort of thing will flex just about any material you attempt to use to contain the pressure. [/QUOTE]
