Working out quantities for your Sandown job

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

Getting plywood onto your Sandown site

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Sandown needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Ordering plywood for Sandown: FAQs

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 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 Sandown?

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 I add other materials to my Sandown 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.
