What is pine plywood used for?

Pine is the most common type of wood used for the manufacture of plywood products of all types.

Pine plywood is most commonly used for construction, although it is also used for industrial purposes at times. In construction, it is most often found used for wall and roof sheathing on homes, as well as for sub-flooring, although OSB is also allowable by building code for these applications, and is often used in place of softwood plywood, due to its lower costs.

This is not to say that pine plywood can only be used for construction uses. Higher grades of are used for the manufacture of a wide variety of projects, especially by do-it-yourselfers and woodworking hobbyists. AC grade provides the hobbyist with a plywood product that has a good surface finish, which does not have a high price. People make a considerable amount of furniture out of pine plywood, especially when they want an antique or rustic look. Bookcases, wardrobes, bed frames, chairs, and tables are all made out of this plywood product.

Pine plywood, specifically marine grade, is used to make boats. This is an excellent choice, because of its light weight and high strength to weight ratio. Marine grade pine plywood is manufactured without any voids, as those can cause more rapid delaminating when exposed to a high moisture environment.

Lower grades , such as BC grade , are often used for making rough-use furniture, such as shelving and workbenches for the workshop. This provides high strength at a lower cost. Since finish isn’t so important in these applications, it makes sense to use the BC grade plywood, rather than the more expensive AB or AC grade.
