i'd definitely avoid any of the "compressed dust" paneling options, ie masonite/hardboard, mdf, chip board. even a little bit of rain and the edges start to swell
just for 2 weeks this probably won't be an issue, but you could consider building your platforming on a slight rake, 1/8"/ft would allow water to shed off rather than puddle on the decks...
The raked deck is an excellent suggestion. Over the years I have been involved in several outdoor summer theatres and also productions of ”Singing in the Rain”. If you KNOW there will be water, plan for it. In addition to raked decks, plan how to handle and direct the run-off. Can be as simple as a piece of 1” pvc slit in half and placed under the lip of a platform to catch the run off and direct it to the side, to a drain or grassy area, etc. With several platforms, tilt them in different directions to avoid a big puddle in one place. DON’T allow them to form a puddle under the platforms, it will attract insects and become a mosquito breeding pond. Hope this helps.i'd definitely avoid any of the "compressed dust" paneling options, ie masonite/hardboard, mdf, chip board. even a little bit of rain and the edges start to swell
