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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Plywood in Wellington: questions

Can I add other materials to my Wellington 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.

Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in Wellington?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How many sheets of plywood do I need?

Divide the area by 2.98 m² (the area of an 8 × 4 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting.
