Default Custom Viv Backing

Hi,

Just trying to design my own viv, and looking at using melamine for the top, bottom and sides. Just not sure at the minute what to use as the back? What do you all use?

Thanks

Sam

Also, when installing vents, do you normally buy 2 and put 1 each side, or just have one on the outside?

Vents - I put them in the sides. One at the bottom front and one at the top back. Hoping to get some circulation

backing - For small vivs it's probably ok to use hardboard, but for big vivs you probably need to use contiboard backing.
