They are flat, stiff, and relatively light. You can even put a hinge on the wall side if you want to just tip it up for storage like a Murphy bed.</p><p>[/quote]</p></font><p>Good thought. If you go by Fred's actual experience and do something shorter than 8 feet, then a slab door cannot be beat. You can't even buy the materials for the cost of a slab door.</p><p>If you can hang it from a wall as suggested, here is a neat idea:</p><ul><li>Buy a pre-hung interior slab door. Throw away the outer casing and attach the interior frame to the wall - <strong>sideways</strong>. All you need are legs and now you have a layout already hinged and framed by molding when folded (you would need to add some molding to the "side" where the door bottom would have been)</li></ul><p>-John</p>
