Marine Plywood manufactured to AS/NZS 2272 sits at the top of the plywood family tree. Utilising high grade Hoop Pine veneers both on the faces plus the core layer this plywood is also probably the most misunderstood product. Often requested for such projects as dog kennels this plywood was designed for high impact as the hull of a boat. A saying within the plywood industry is ‘if it doesn’t have a sail or motor attached, you probably don’t need marine’.
