Huh, that's not how I read it:
6.3.2 Crate Specifications
When you build your crate, remember to consider the weight of your materials. For instance, if 3/8” or ½”
plywood is sturdy enough, why use the much heavier ¾” product? Build it with more than one shipment
and/or season in mind.
All Crates must:
• NEW: Comply with the Wood Materials Regulations above if the crate ships into the U.S.
• Weigh 400 pounds or less in order to avoid drayage overage charges
• Be sturdily built to prevent damage to your equipment
•
Have plywood construction to ensure stacking capability during transport
• "Sit" on 2 pieces of 4" by 4" lumber, spaced at least 28" apart so it can be moved by a forklift.
• Have a footprint no greater than 4' by 4' and be no taller than 5'10" (70") high. This maximum
includes the 4" by 4" lumber mentioned above.
• Be capable of being moved by a forklift
I am just quoting the rules here but it seems like you cannot, in fact, make it out of whatever you want. Again, read the rules closely. They are your friend.
