Hey all,
what is a sheet’s size in your country?
Since plywood has often been the subject here in the forum lately, the day before yesterday when I was in a hardware store, I took the opportunity to see what it costs here today:
Plywood birch 12 mm (≈15/32″): 42 €/m² (ouch)
(that’s 3.90 € / sq ft or
35.12 € / sq yd)
(On 2022-06-23, 1 USD = 0.94891 EUR, 1 EUR = 1.05368 USD)
That means the price has doubled since I last checked and that it has more than doubled since I last built something with it (a few years ago).
But it was a hardware store, wasn’t at a lumber yard this week.
I recently read a report that hardware stores are now buying forest plots to become their own suppliers.
Lately I’ve been building mostly things out of glued laminated timber. I’m glad I still have enough wood that I bought years ago!
