J,


I used 1/8" tempered, screen-back hardboard (it may have been branded
Masonite).  I believe the key word is tempered which indicates an exterior
grade.  The screen-back material is stiffer than the regular.  It is also
nicer with which to work.  I would recommend using a USA manufactured version
of this stuff because it will not readily shred like the imported garbage.
Even the USA stuff is cheap.  I did not bother to paint it, still, after 5
years all I could say is that it got really dirty.
