two questions immediatly come to mind:
1: was it .75 or .5 plywood?
2: how close were the cross braces?


I'd suggest .75 with 2x4 frame on the edge with at least 4 cross
braces along the 8' length.

this requires 4.5 2x4x8s per section.

if that is not sufficiant then:

1 foot from each corner would be a .5" hole (8 per section)
for bolting the sections together. (bolts + washers + wingnuts)


just a thought...
can anyone give specs for the stage two years ago?
