Plywood: choosing well

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.

How much will you need?

Decking 8 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 3 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Getting plywood onto your Leigh site

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

  • With roughly 7h 28m of daylight in Leigh around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
