The question: What is a really lightweight material that is strong, maintenance freeand easy to work with ? i.e. the properties of wood, but lighter ? Starboard might not have the needed strength to hold bolts laterally...
Thx
Starboard and trex are about 3x the weight of wood. I think the closest thing you'll find to what you want is ... wood.
