DYI equipment mounting boards

[Gundy]

From my research, one material that works is Srarboard which I believe is boat material and gives UV protection. Expanded PVC is another material and is readily available in white and black. The light grey product is not usually readily available and most likely needs to be pre ordered in my area. So for a couple of hundred dollars, I can make about 2-3 boards depending on how elaborate I make them. 1 board is
$300.00 if you purchase it.

How hard is it to make these mounting boards? If you purchase one it’s about 275-300 dollars. I believe the material is expanded PVC. Is this right and is it an easy material to work with? Are other materials available to use that are totally water resistant? Other than the standard I have seen ones that are shallow cabinets on a hinge which are cool. I want to make several of them. Thanks

PVC material Sheet mostly Replaced Plywood due to Ease of handling and Warer proofing. Here is mh DIY cabinet made

Made mine out of plywood and black paint laying around the house ($0). Just bought some desk computer cord organizers for the wires to come through the board ($4/each from Lowes).

That looks phenomenal and very professional. Is that an iPad you are using to view your apex? If so, can you use an older out of date model?

It is a refurbished Fire HD 10 (2019) I got off Amazon for $90. I went with this item because it was cheap and when turned landscape, had a high enough resolution to display three columns in the Neptune app instead of two. You only need a browser so I believe an old iPad would be just fine.

I have an old iPad and getting websites to work on it now are hit and miss. It will not update to later versions of the web browsers which is needed on several websites now.
