[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 234481, member: 6694"] Also, remember with plywood that the layers alternate grain direction within the plywood sheet, even though the top and bottom layers (veneers) are in the same direction. There are different grades, and some have many more layers in a given thickness than others, as an example you can get 3/4" ply with as little as 5 or as many as 11 layers. I have used 9 or 11 layer "cabinet grade" plywood in 3/4" for some non-boating projects, and it is plenty strong to support my 240 lb frame bouncing up and down on it in a 3x3' section. 1/2" should be plenty with the proper framing underneath.
