I think they are very expensive as well. Whats wrong with the same material you make the Base boards from. After all the incline is just an extension of the base boards. And that is the way it has always been done and very successfully as well.
I just used wood off cuts.

That’s the best way. TWD was just suggesting using scrap blocks of wood to support the ply.
