Birch plywood would be very suitable as it does not splinter working on 
it or on impact. However it is very sensitive to woodworm, so it should 
be properly treated and it is best to give it a few coats of varnish, 
paint or preservative after all holes have been made to protect it from 
the damp and insects. Do not forget to fit a PE sheet on the outside of 
the door card, suspended between door card and door frame at the top and 
hanging inside the door frame at the bottom to drain away any water 
entering. Make sure the drain holes in the door bottom are clean and not 
blocked.
