Re: Shipping Crate

I believe the intent of the plywood requirement is to meet the requirements of shipping companies. While a crate made of diamond plate or 80/20 and lexan may look cool I don't think the freight companies care so much about looks as they do sturdiness. Wood crates have been the standard for centuries.
