NOT Polyurethane, bot polyETHYLENE.
Any good plastic will work, ABS, UHMW, Teflon $$, will all work as long as you get pieces that are strong enough (thick enough) to stand up to a 200lb Gorilla landing on it. Call around to the plastics shops in the yellow pages.

They use HDPE, it is like lexan, but its uv proof. Its $150 for a 4x8 sheet.
