How to Choose Plywood for Garden and Outdoor Projects

Selecting the right plywood for garden and outdoor applications requires understanding moisture resistance, durability, and structural requirements. Not all plywood types are suitable for exterior use, and choosing incorrectly can lead to premature deterioration and safety issues.
Weather Resistance Factors
For outdoor projects, you need plywood with high moisture resistance. Marine-grade plywood or exterior-grade plywood with waterproof adhesives are essential. The key difference lies in the adhesive type and the wood species used. Birch plywood offers excellent strength, while coniferous species provide better natural resistance to moisture when properly treated.
Practical Advice
"Many customers make the mistake of using interior-grade plywood for garden projects. Even with protective coatings, this material will fail within a few seasons. Always specify exterior or marine-grade for any outdoor application," advises our Product Specialist.
For long-lasting garden structures, combine quality plywood with proper surface treatment and regular maintenance. Our catalog includes several options specifically designed for outdoor use.
