A while back I had built a simple wooden boat called a 'bolger brick' and while doing that I learned one of the properties of thin plywood is it because stiffer and stronger when it is bent, thus made a surprisingly solid roof. (you can see pics of my boat attempt here and my little adventure, it was ugly but functional) http://www.weblamer.com/2_19_2007_From_hippies_to_punks_in_a_single_day.html Here is Ed’s reply on the roof, I’ll also add the information above shortly:

I just love how the first reaction is that you wouldn't be able to lie down straight in it. But think about it... I have done some tests in google sketchup. You can watch a few pictures in the link.
