[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 230917, member: 6937"] Ya know, I never bothered to do a price comparison when we did that project, but I know that marine grade plywood ain't cheap! And it's hard to find a piece of plywood at Home Depot or Lowe's that isn't wopped, de-laminating, or some other issue. You'd think for what you pay, it would be better. but I digress. If memory serves me correctly, I want to say the 8 foot 1x4 boards were only about 5 dollars a piece. So, I'm thinking the material cost was roughly equivalent to what it would have been for plywood. But the beauty of the slat design is that if any part of it gets cracked, warped, waterlogged, etc, it's a simple matter of replacing that one board. Also, if you booger up on a cut or a notch, it's just one board to do over, not a whole sheet of plywood. [/QUOTE]
