I would find another lumber yard. And pick your lumber yourself, you can look down it lenghtwise and tell if it's straight or check it on the floor. 1X4 number 2 should be straight and uniform in size with no loose knots. Plywood is hard to use as you want. It's hard to get it cut straight and hard to fasten together. Otherwise it's great? Also, use a board every 16 OC in the 8' direction. What about 2X4s? Most places they cost less than 1x4 but are heavier. It sounds like the lumber yard sold you culls and then blew you off. FRED
