Baltic Birch Plywood Sheets ££

[evansmike881]

Afternoon

As I said in my last post I'm just about to start making some stands for my very limited collection of tools! I have been told that Baltic Birch plywood is the best choice for this because of its dense nature produces a much better quality plywood.

Although the cost of this seems very high, My local Travis Perkins has it listed for £88.93 (2440mm x 1220mm) per sheet. Is there anywhere else I could potentially purchase this cheaper, or is there another plywood I could use?

Cheers

It's going to depend on the thickness but I can get a full sheet of 12mm for £48 from a local timber merchant.

I think TP is going to be one of the most expensive places to buy from. Try to find a local one - quick google for me and I found https://www.jacksonstimber.co.uk - worth giving them a call and asking if they have it and what cost, plus if they'll cut it for you too - unless you can get it home on your own and safely cut it.

Don't forget that it comes in different grades when comparing prices. The stuff at TP is probably going to be a low grade.

Birch ply is a minefield.
check out the grades here;

Once you have the correct grade go looking for a price.
Depending where you are and how much you want, avon plywood has a very high reputation, and will cut and deliver to you.

I get mine from Covers and although I tend to buy more than just a sheet or two at a time, they sell me their 18mm for 50-something a sheet. Quality has always been fine.
