Before your Carlisle delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Carlisle is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • On busy streets in Carlisle, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • With roughly 7h 11m of daylight in Carlisle around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Choosing plywood

Structural use

Roof decks and floors need plywood marked for structural use. Check the thickness against the joist spacing.

Interior or exterior?

BS EN 636 classes plywood as class 1 (dry), class 2 (humid) or class 3 (exterior). Use class 3 for anything exposed to the weather.

Questions about plywood delivery in Carlisle

What thickness for a flat roof deck?

18 mm structural ply is common on joists at 400 mm centres; your design may specify more.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Carlisle?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

It is made for concrete formwork, not for permanent structural decks. Use structural ply for roofs and floors.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Carlisle?

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.
