Marine ply is one of those things much talked about but never seen

something else.

Most timber yards round here sell it. Or rather what they call
marine ply. At about 5 times the price of general purpose stuff.

sure it's not WBP?

On a good day it will be. But beware that WBP has no legal meaning now,
anything marked WBP can delaminate after a single light shower. DAMHIKT.


Not sure I'd be happy paying all that money for something advertised on
their web site as marine ply to find it was something different?

Of course it's a trick some roofers etc might do. Charge you for marine
ply and use something cheaper.

You wouldn't be the first to be not too happy. In most cases purchasers never find out. If you ask for or accept 'marine ply' you're letting them know you're gullible.
