How thick to buy HDPE?
Hi all - question for those of you who have already experimented with HDPE:

We have built a practice (half) field from plywood. We'd like to upgrade portions of the step, platforms, and chute to have HDPE surfaces (we don't have the cash to do it all). I'm wondering what's the thinnest sheet of HDPE we can get away with (assuming we glue it down), without having to worry about it tearing or bunching. 6 mil (vapour barrier)? 1/32"? 1/16"? (available from McMaster Carr), thicker?
