Reply: Foam source and type?
I used the fanfold pink Foamular extruded polystyrene foam. The Home Depot lists it as 1/4" thick, but it is closer to 3/16" thick. Either way, it really doesn't matter much. Just make the parts fit and you are good to go.Alternate sources are: Lowe's BlueCor foam, Dollar Tree Foam Board (paper on or off, your choice), a product called Depron, or Elmer's Display Board. Elmer's is more brittle with the paper removed, but you can buy a box of it online in sizes up to 4' x 8'.
Don't be tempted to skimp on the 1/64" plywood. The strength it brings is needed to resist hard landings.
