I think the plies would be stronger than a single stick.

But light weight, waterproof/resistant, and inexpensive isn't easy to find.
If I have a moment this weekend, I might throw something temporary up to see if it would even be helpful. If so, I'll measure exactly and go from there.

Thanks for the tips!
