    I found an 3 meters long french folding boat plan- like ORU KAYAK -and enlarged the plans from 3X1.5 meters wide sheet in to 4X2 meters wide sheet

    There is no polypropylene corrugated plastic at the market and only options are polyethylene or PP , solid plastic plate.

    What should I select as thickness of solid plastic sheet and is it too hard or easy to make a ORU like boat with folding lines with solid plastic? And would it be extremelly strong ?
