I've used the thin hardwood ply from lowes (think it was actually about 3/16") on both my builds. If you can seal it well enough you shouldn't have any problems with delamination.

Thanks, What type of sealer would you recommend, and second how did you attach to wood spars of wall without showing fasteners.

I used CPES (clear penetrating epoxy sealer) on the edges, but everything was primered with Kilz, and then painted with Rustoleum enamels (which hid the screws).
