Order plywood for delivery in Truro

Plywood is a sheet material made from thin layers of wood veneer glued with the grain at right angles, which makes it strong and stable; the standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm.

Trades and homeowners in Truro can order plywood for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Getting the right plywood

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.

Thickness for floors

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

Delivery to Truro: what helps

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • On busy streets in Truro, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • In summer Truro gets around 16h 25m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Sizing your order

Decking 30 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 12 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Plywood questions

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

Can I add other materials to my Truro 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 there a minimum order for delivery to Truro?

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.

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.
