B&Q selling birch plywood!

[Britman]

Bit odd that it's listed but they don't sell it and if they did it wouldn't be 20 quid a sheet

In fact has B&Q every sold Birch Plywood?

Would actually be handy if they did.

I think I came across that very page a couple of days ago. Must be some mistake...

£20 is very good, if it was real.
I just bought 25 sheets of 18mm at £33 plus vat a sheet and thought that was pretty good

 

[Droogs]

that is a good price considering Dr Bob. Even Meyers have been more than that over the course of this year

Nearest B&Q to me has prices for plywood and OSB bordering on extortion.
up to 50% more than the builders merchant.

Yes I thought so as well, it was a BB/ CP board. That means it's good on one face with just a few patches, and the back is a poorer colour. It was all for carcases, so the patches I can work round and the backs are not important.

I've recently bought 10 sheets at 40 + vat and thought that a good price. One supplier quoted at 65+vat!

 

[Britman]

I wonder if it's a holding page and they will soon be stocking it

I'm lucky I have a bit of buying power, I do about £6000 ex vat a month with our panel supplier.

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen something unexpected in B&Q. A few years back, they were stocking waney-edge oak slabs! Maybe they still do...

Yes they do, they aren't particularly big or thick. Mostly already plained and they seem expensive.
They also do PAR oak boards which are around £30 for 900x300x25

 

[Torx]

They do in my branch, it’s actually not bad quality.

Judging by feedback on their ordinary ply I would worry about delaminating and gaps. Where do you get your Birch ply from? I've just paid £156 for 2 18mm B/BB sheets delivered incl VAT.

 

[Jameshow]

I would hold your breath or plan projects!

B & Q seems to have lots of phantom product listings.

Just saying.

Cheers James

That feedback is very much justified, their 18mm hardwood ply is terrible.

It's more likely to be so that it's picked up on search engines to drive traffic.

Yeah but they call it PAR

I’ve had some plywood from b&q that was absolutely great quality in the past. Think it just depends what batch they get delivered. £20 though - can’t complain at that!

I thought you hated doing birch ply carcases

 

[Rorton]

notice the hardwood ply had gone up in b&q too, sure I bought a sheet last year for £35 to make a workshop stand for something - £40 now
