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

ply, it's 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.


This particular job was designed and overseen by an architect who is not
only very good, but a friend. Using the builders he used on many other
jobs and recommended. I also watched much of it being done. I'd be rather
surprised if he was happy with other than what he specified being used. On
occasions where the builders wanted the spec changed, there were
discussions all round about them.
