Hi, you can use FRP (fibreglass reinforced plastic) on the bottom and sides up to substrate level, it comes in 8 x 4 ft sheets just like plywood, and I`m fairly sure they would cut it to size for you.
As far as building the enclosure, why not make it in two halves; the top is basically just 3/4 inch plywood joined at the corners with some steel angle brackets (very cheap and much stronger than screws), and a sliding plate glass front (or a ready made window).
The bottom half which holds the substrate will obviously need 2 x 4 inch framework.
Doing it that way means you could make it in another room, and easily get it through the doors before putting it all together.
