	Looks like strip door for warehouse dock doors just bolted in top and bottom. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	I've read about Kevlar-Plywood sandwich materials somewhere...... don't ask me where though. Maybe the Google man knows?! __________________ If you can't dig it, get a backhoe!

	a web site that I often use when trying to find a building / construction related product is www.arcat.com it's specifically focused on putting you in touch with the product manufacturers' information / websites and is organized along the Construction Specifications Institute's (CSI) spec format.

	Try the new recycled plastic/wood composite boards. I know they make up to a 2"x6" for floor joists, but not sure if they make 4'x8' sheets. This is the stuff that Home Depot uses in their picnic tables they sell now. Check with any of your local lumber yards. They're supposed to be cheaper than even OSB. __________________ Dirt is for vegetables. Pavement is for racing.
