Finn,

Couldn’t you strengthen the plywood forms sufficiently with metal banding, like what is used in the shipping industry to strengthen large plywood crates? Put a band every foot or so the entire length. When cured, cut the bands off and remove the plywood. You could probably either borrow the banding tool from a friend, or get one off ebay and re-sell it again when you’re done.


I'd stand a couple 4x4's on each side of the plywood form, then run rebar through every foot or so, then bend it down. Rebar becomes a reinforcement. 4x4's become landscaping timbers.
