: If Kyle hasn’t eased your concerns about 3 mm plywood, you could glass the
: insides of the panels before assembly to stiffen them up.

Thanks Kyle & Sam. And kyle for the brainwave of glassing the inside of the panels :-) For some reason I hadn't thought of that - I'd be glassing the inside anyway, as per the building instructions, and doing it whilst flat would be easier and solve the stiffness problem.

Thanks again!

Regards,
Darren
