Just out of curiosity

Just out of curiosity, what kind of walls would you use for an enclosure. Would ¾ inch plywood work?

A destructive monitors claws.
I like FRP, (fiber reinforced plastic)they cannot damage it with their claws and its waterproof, in fact when attached properly its darn near indestructible. Then seal all corners with GE silicone 2. Ive heard of people wanting to try vinyl sheets, and other stuff but Id rather know that its done right the first time. The stuff is a bit expensive but then again monitors are expensive to care for properly.

I have used 1/2 and 3/4 inch plywood for cages. I coat mine with many coats of polyurethane. If I had it to do over again, I would have put FRP on the wood as well.
