Astro turf, instant cement, shag carpet, and wood with bent nails in it all work as AMAZING topsheets, true story.

you actually could use wood- 2x4's but you's need to way them and stuff just right- i've seen it done- but try lexan- you could maybe even get some at the junkyard for cheap- peace

Pretty cheap.

By the way, would it work just to screw down the lexan to wood to make a box?
