Stephan,
I used 22 gauge because that was the size of the scrap piece my sheet metal guy had on the shelf cheap.
Home depot sells a 24 gauge 24" x 24" for about $10 that would work fine. 26 gauge is fine also.
I made few changes,
1. I deleted the return air slots on the bottom because the furnace sits right on the plywood and it did nothing.
2. Made the shortside back piece a separate L shaped piece because it's one less seam in an awkward corner and made the tab overlaps easier, and it made the template a little more sane.
