How delivery works in Ryde
Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Ryde needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Things to check before you order
OSB or plywood?
OSB3 is usually cheaper and fine for most structural decking in humid conditions. Plywood is stiffer, takes fixings near edges better and performs better where it may get wet.
Which flooring?
P5 chipboard flooring is the standard moisture-resistant floor deck. 18 mm is common at 400 mm joist centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres, but follow the maker's span table.
Common questions from Ryde
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Ryde?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
Can OSB get wet?
OSB3 copes with humid conditions and short exposure during construction, but it should not be left in the rain for long or used where it stays wet.
How soon can OSB, MDF and chipboard be delivered in Ryde?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
Is MDF waterproof?
No. Moisture-resistant MDF handles humid rooms better than standard MDF but must still be sealed and kept out of direct water.
