Never say never! MDF is going to wreck your back when it comes time to move! That stuff is even heavier than plywood. <br /> <br />The foam modules are surprisingly strong. I think Bob recommends 1.5" foam, but you could go to 2", and laminate it to luan ("doorskin" or even 1/4") plywood for added strength. Anyway, they hold up really well - these modules are moved and set up in a different configuration every month with little, if any problems. <br /> <br />Give it a try with a small 2x2 or 2x4 before you rule it out completely... <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
