A Quick Challenge

We are looking at a facade to put up in front of the Clan tent at games, and while good ol' quarter inch ply comes to mind, I would love to find something else to use. It needs to be light, weatherproof/weatherresistant, strong, and paintable. Any suggestions other than foamcore and gatorboard, which lack the weather resistance? Also, if anyone knows of a good source of square or rectangular PVC for joints and structure, please let me know. Thanks!

LW,
Cheap, lightweight, weatherproof and paintable - if you know any EAA people: Alumimium. I've seen one man easily pick up an entire aircraft fuselage. Properly done it looks good.
As for structural joints - try the biggest local flea mart, there is often a vendor selling booth parts there.

Sheet styrofoam. Easy to cover with fabric or paint, easy to replace and repair if needed. You could carve it into brick or rockwork if inclined.
