Overview
Exterior plywood is a weather-rated sheet good intended for outdoor use when detailed properly.
Best for: outdoor panels, soffits, sheltered cladding details, and structural sheathing.
Watch-outs: edges are vulnerable, standing water destroys panels, and “exterior” does not mean “maintenance-free”.
Workability
Cuts well with sharp carbide.
Seal edges and use corrosion-resistant fixings for exterior work.
