[QUOTE="NoSnipeLimit, post: 215172, member: 984"] Hehehe Sketchup for me is the next best thing since sliced bread. The total weight for me isn't much of a worry. It's not really that heavy. When I'm at home I'll give you some more details about the design, that is if i get home :D My main concern would be panel resonance. If you've got a 750mm panel that is unbraced it will most definitely have some panel resonance. If you run some more battens through those panels to stiffen it up it should work fine. battens 60x60x750 = 2, 700, 000 MDF 16x60x750 = 720, 000. So for MDF I can put almost 4 braces full line down for each batten. So I'm not sure if your actually saving weight by using so many battens, also think you'll be losing some stiffness. The MDF route does has more complicity, takes more time and effort though. [/QUOTE]
