Always low prices and perfect quality
Outdoor furniture must withstand sun, rain and temperature swings without losing strength or appearance. Marine grade plywood, like our Meranti BS 1088 offers unmatched resilience to the elements for outdoor benches, planters and patio tables. Here’s why marine grade plywood for stands head and shoulders above standard plywood sheets.
1. Completely Waterproof Construction
Marine-grade plywood uses phenolic (WBP) adhesives that won’t break down in rain, dew or humidity. Unlike standard interior plywood, there’s no risk of delamination at the glue lines, even when the edges get soaked.
2. Void-Free Core for Strength
Every layer of marine-grade ply is stacked without gaps, eliminating weak spots where moisture can collect and cause rot. That means your chair legs won’t twist and your table tops stay perfectly flat, year after year.
3. Rot-Resistant Veneers
Most marine ply features hardwood faces, e.g., Meranti, or Okoumé naturally resist decay. Those durable outer layers stand up to UV exposure and pests, so your furniture maintains its good looks without constant maintenance.
4. Superior Fastener Holding
Whether you’re joining panels with screws, bolts or decorative brass hardware, marine-grade plywood grips fasteners tightly. You’ll avoid strip-outs and loose joints, even on frequently-used pieces like bench seats and swings.
5. Smooth, Stable Surface for Finishes
The tight grain and smooth veneers of marine ply take paints, stains and varnishes beautifully. Seal all cut edges with an exterior primer, apply two coats of marine varnish, and you’ll lock out moisture and UV damage for a long-lasting finish.
Pro Tips for Outdoor Builds
- Seal Every Edge: End grain soaks in water fast. Always coat all sides.
- Use Stainless Steel Fasteners: Prevent corrosion and unsightly rust stains.
