Have you seen the Charlie DIY on his portable workbench?

Also if you're renovating, do you have any shit fire doors?
Also given the weather this summer have you considered getting a gazibo

i've been struggling to cut stuff properly because I cant buy a proper workbench until I know what dimensions my workshop will be and I plan to have it sized to fit the space.
I have a couple of toughbuilt sawhorses which have notches at each end to hold a piece of 2x4" to make a frame of sorts between the two horses so I've ordered some 2x4's and a sheet of 18mm ply and I plan to fix the 2x4 to the long edges of the underside of the ply to make a removeable top that is thin enough it wont be a massive pain to store until my workshop is up and running.
thing is I can't decide how long to make it. too short is going to make cutting things like 2.4m insulation boards a pain or ripping stuff with my circular saw if it's not stable at the ends but if it's too long it'll be shit to move around and use inside the house which given the shite weather is where I'll be stuck working most of the time.
i think 1.5m might be the sweet spot but wonder if anyone has tackled this themselves and has some insight for things I might not be considering like sagging or whatever.
