The main reason for the 5/8 was so that I could attach folding metal legs to
the bottom. I did the bolt on legs for a year and they just got to be too
much. They took to long to set up and tear down, plus they ate up a ton of
space in the van. I might look into a thinner top with thick supports just
where the folding legs will bolt on.
