i have always used OSB Board for my Displays. I have been doing christmas displays for the last 35 years. these displays has been basic rectangles up to and including multi level monster pieces. all of these have been framed with 2x4's and put together with drywall screws. On all of these displays I have walked sat bounced and climbed all over the decking with not on single problem of cracking or breaking.

Also understand that the decks can get rather heavy at times as has been posted in the horror stories thread and the have you ever got hurt working on the layout thread from some time ago.

Even with the weight issue i have not once ever had any of the decking fail me

the last time I bought OSB which was last year i paid 8.00 per sheet for 7/16" compared to the equivelant of 1/2" ply for 19.85 per sheet
