Marine Plywood
About Marine Plywood
Marine-grade plywood, often simply called marine plywood, is not what it’s often claimed to be. That is, it’s not waterproof. It is a good-quality, hardwood plywood made with waterproof glue, but since it’s not treated with chemicals it is not rot-resistant. Better grades also tend to be lightweight, strong, and virtually free of defects. These qualities are what make this plywood a popular choice for building boats and boat parts. It’s also a smart option for durable outdoor furniture projects in coastal areas, especially after it receives a strong protective finish.
