Getting plywood onto your Christchurch site

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Christchurch, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Choosing plywood

Thickness for floors

18 mm or more is common for floors on joists at 400 mm centres; follow your design.

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.

Estimating your plywood

Decking 18 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 7 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Ordering plywood for Christchurch: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Christchurch delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plywood to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

What plywood should I use outside?

Use plywood with an exterior bond, class 3 under BS EN 636, or marine ply for very wet conditions.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Christchurch?

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.
