I bought some teak plywood (teak faces but something else as the core material), and made the new hatch boards. They lasted and looked very good. Also used some of my left-over material to make my special lower hatch board that held my 7 X 50 binocular; marine radio, etc. If the plastic is available in colors, and it can "look" like teak, well, why not....? No deterioration; no delamination; structurally stable; .... Ciao, Connie I used this company for my Kingboard needs. They will cut any size in a number of colors and their prices are very reasonable. http://www.boatoutfitters.com/king-starboard.html Good luck with your projects. Presently I am also remaking the main hatch teak slides in Kingboard since I seem to be snapping off the nubs of teak on the inboard edges of them. This plastic is easy to shape and cut if you feed it slowly through a tablesaw blade. Work your projects so you don't have to glue anything. Advice on doing that, though, is available at this website. fair winds, Tom B <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
