[QUOTE="xbacksideslider, post: 263118, member: 8051"] How much lighter is .090 aluminum compared to 1/2 plywood? Not much I'd bet. If you go to .063, then yes, maybe 20 pounds lighter per sheet. It's more about how you want to build it than weight. Aluminum is more difficult to fabricate, but a superior material for this application. Wood is cheaper both as a material and to fabricate. Nice job, I like your project. [/QUOTE]
