[QUOTE="ss3079, post: 89754, member: 542009"] Anywhere from 3/4" and thicker...anything smaller will flex, which wont be good;) Also, I am glad you are building your own box, since you have the skills. I teach Fine Woodworking and Construction at the local high school, and the biggest mistake I see is people who have the skills buying pre-fab'ed boxes...drives me nuts - especially since they get a deal on MDF because it is through the school. You should caulk every joint inside the box. Use "liquid nails" in between all of the joints. Pre drill your holes(for screws) to prevent the board from splitting. Carpet just makes it look good;) - Steve [/QUOTE]
