Building a rear box.. What size plywood?
I am going to build a box like many have to store my electonics and stuff in under my rear seats. What size plywood should I use? 1/4" or 1/2"? I want it to be sturdy but want the most for my money in storage. It will only be about 7" high so the thinner the better. I am not a carpender so help is needed! THANKS!
can't remeber how much exactly but i know a full 4' x 8' sheet is about $12.00 so if you go with the smaller sheets i mentioned before it should be less. for some reason $6.88 is sticking in my mind.
Medium Density Fiberboard
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF or MDFB) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and resin, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. It is a building material similar in application to plywood but made up of sawdust. It is denser than normal particleboard.

MDF is great. we build cabinets and shelves and such with MDF sheets. Alot of our trim is also MDF, and its great because its really flexible for a great fit.
about half of the material i used in my living room is MDF
