Plywood is a popular and versatile building material with plentiful uses. If you've got building projects in mind, you probably have plywood on your shopping list. Searching for plywood near you? Ace Hardware carries the plywood sheets and tabletops you need to get the job done. Not only that, but Ace is your one-stop shop for all the supplies you need for any project in and around the house.

The Many Advantages of Using Plywood

When compared to other building materials, plywood strikes an impressive balance of strength and savings. Of its many advantages, plywood:

  • Is less expensive than solid wood for cost effective projects.
  • Can be sturdier than MDF or particleboard for reliable strength.
  • Is available in a variety of sizes from thin plywood to 1- or 2-inch plywood to help you find the thickness and size you need.

You can also choose from different varieties of plywood, depending on the task at hand. For example, did you know that some plywood is designed for flexibility? This makes it the perfect construction material for curved objects like skateboard ramps, rounded furnishings or even guitars.

Plywood Grades Explained

Plywood grades tell you what you need to know about the quality of plywood and how it looks. A single sheet of plywood can have two different grades, with one side earning a higher or lower grade depending on a few factors.

The higher the grade, the higher the quality and cost of the plywood. For example:

  • Grade A plywood will be virtually blemish free, making it perfect for projects where you intend to show the wood.
  • Grade B plywood may have a few cosmetic defects but still provides high-quality, smooth surfaces.
  • Grade C and D plywood are not sanded, making them perfect for projects where the surface of the plywood will be hidden from sight.

Inspiration for Plywood Projects

With so many benefits, it's easy to see why plywood is a great choice for a wide range of projects. If you're looking for a little inspiration, here are some of our favorite (and functional) plywood projects to get you started:

Structures

Whether you're building a house, a shed, a treehouse or some other structure, plywood is a must. It can be used for subfloors, interior walls beneath dry wall and even the base for roofing under shingles. Exterior plywood stands strong in the elements for lasting durability from season to season.

Furniture

Desks, shelving units, tabletops, entryway benches and other pieces can all be beautifully constructed from plywood and make great projects for beginners. When construction is complete, stain or paint the piece so it will pair effortlessly with your existing decor.

Workshop Essentials

Plywood is an excellent choice for constructing sawhorses, workbenches, supply bins and storage cabinets to make your workshop more organized and efficient. Thanks to the utilitarian nature of these pieces, it's not even necessary to finish with paint or stain, making it a quick weekend project.

Scrap Projects

Feeling crafty? Leftover plywood scraps from other projects are perfect for building small or decorative items to enhance your space. Cut scraps into squares to make coasters, turn plywood circles into a clock or lazy Susan, build shelves out of leftover planks of plywood or create decorative signs using virtually any scrap shape.
