I have MDF and plyboard at my disposal,


WBP or marine ply. They ain't the same stuff, marine has a higher price
tag but for your use WBP (water and boil prooof) will be fine. There are
some bits of 18 mm WBP that have been kicking about outside with not
treatment or protection, lent against a wall so one end (now) in the
ground and they haven't delaminated yet.

MDF will just fall apart if any damp gets into it.

MDF becomes a soft almost mushy material when wet through.
