Softwood plywood has a wild and interesting grain pattern that lends itself to decorative use.
It's a naturally knotty timber, so selecting the correct higher grade face veneers is an important part of the manufacturing process.

18 mm pine plywood is the one softwood board we carry that is bonded for exterior use. Most softwood plywood is an indoor board; this one is made to EN 314-2 Class 3, which means the glue line survives being rained on.
Class 3 is the exterior bonding category, and it is the difference between a board that survives a wet spell on site and one that quietly comes apart, because ordinary interior plywood uses a glue that softens once it is properly wet and there is no fixing it afterwards. Shed and garden building construction is the main use, particularly walls and roof decking that will be covered by felt or cladding, along with soffits and fascia backing under a painted finish and garden furniture bases. It also suits anything on a site that has to sit out for a few weeks before it is closed in, which is where an interior board most often gets ruined. The face is European pine, decent looking for a construction board, with visible grain and knots.
Cutting and handling
It cuts easily. Use a sharp blade with plenty of teeth, because softwood tears rather than chips and a coarse blade leaves a furry edge. Pilot screws near an edge and near a knot, since softwood splits along the grain readily and a knot deflects a screw off line.
Fixing and painting
Knot the board before painting, or resin from a live pine knot bleeds through months later and shows as a brown stain that no amount of topcoat hides once it starts. Seal the cut edges and every screw hole, particularly on anything outdoors, because water gets into a board through the edges long before it gets through a face.
Where not to use it
What Class 3 does not do is make pine durable: the glue holds, the timber does not become rot proof. So this is the board for outdoor work that will be painted, covered or sheltered, not for a bare surface left out in the weather for years, and anything permanently wet wants marine plywood. The rest of the range is on the softwood plywood page and the plywood page.
