Hello All,
Looking for some feedback or suggestions on something I was looking to DIY for this X-Mas. I want to build a santa sleigh and 9 reindeer to place on the roof. I saw plenty of inflatable options but my other half is not a fan of inflatables (thats a discussion for another day though). I then thought to do plywood cutout but considering size & roof placement, the plywood would be too heavy and costly.
Corro would be too thin and flimsy so I didnt think that would hold up well.
Then I thought about foam insullation board. Like this. https://www.lowes.com/pd/GreenGuard-GreenGuard-LG-1-X-4-X-8-XPS-Insulation-Board/5001939653
Has anyone used something like this for cutouts? It's lighter and less expensive than plywood. Im assuming I could paint it pretty easily, and I'm sure I could figure a way to mount it to the roof.
Any thoughts on using that? Strength? Weather resistance? Good idea? Bad idea? Alternative suggestions? I live in NJ so would need it to hold up well to snow, rain & wind.
-Thanks in advance! Looking forward to the X-Mas Season.
