Ultra Board vs. Gator Board
Ultra board and gatorboard are very similar, almost identical, and most people are not able to distinguish one from the other. The primary difference between Ultra and Gator is the exterior finish. Ultra board has a thick, plastic finish while gatorboard has a thin wood veneer finish. Either board can be used for temporary outdoor use; however, neither is recommended for long term outdoor applications. When applying pressure to ultra board, the board will slightly bend and can warp. If using a tall board (over 48” height) with feet or a ground stand, we recommend using Gatorboard as it will not bend or warp.
Foam Boards (Foamcore) vs. Ultraboard & Gatorboard
Foam core has a polystyrene core sandwiched between paper faces, while Ultra and Gator Boards have a dense polystyrene core sandwiched between a plastic or wood veneer finish. Foam core is the least expensive foam board; however, it is very susceptible to damage from dents, dings, and warping.
