The back plate is 1/8, and there just for looks, not support. The middle beams are C channel and the walls are 1/8 inch thick. I did not want to take weight/support off the top piece because i wanted it bo be strong since it will be the main support holding the beams together. I might if we do use this for competition and need to save more weight, but right now it is less than half the weight on ours from last year.
