I was researching on here and other websites in regards to the type of wood they used to build their BD viv. I found that most people used plywood, oak, melamine.
IKEA sells furniture that can be disassembled once assembled. I have yet to find a VIV made someone that can be disassembled. Why? Well, I want to build a viv that can be disassembled to make it easier to move when we move around.
One of my problems when I build my VIV is the type of wood to use. Some say that plywood needs to be sealed, while some don't. Also, that it may not be strong enough as a frame to hold a stack of 4x2x2 VIV. Then there is melamine, a heavy wood but nice looking wood.
I was thinking of using 1/2" - 3/4" birch plywood that is 6' tall.
What my plan was, not sure if its legible once posted is....
If it wasn't posted the way i wanted it to, I'll describe it. So 1' of storage space as base. On top of that is a 4'x2'x2' VIV and on top of that is another 1' of storage space, followed by another 4'x2'x2' VIV.

If i was to use 3/4" birch plywood, would it be strong enough to hold this structure?
