Residential Deliveries T&Cs:

This requires two or more people to manually unload the plywood sheets from the truck after packaging straps are cut and the pack is opened. The driver is not allowed to assist with unloading due to OHS policies. If the delivery can not be made, if goods need to be returned, customer must arrange with the delivery company alternative delivery options. If goods return to Ply Online refund will be issued less delivery and return charges. By choosing residential delivery is an acceptance that this disclaimer has been read and understood by the customer.

Crane Deliveries: Crane deliveries are not available for plywood packs due to their size.

Driver Restrictions: Drivers are not permitted to leave items on the nature strip unattended without the recipient’s signature.

MDF vs Plywood: what is the difference?

Being engineered wood products both plywood and MDF panels are typically used for commercial applications and DIY projects.

MDF is manufactured from fine wooden fibres bonded with resin. In contrast, plywood panels are made from veneer wood sheets bonded together with specific glue.

It is important to note that quality plywood panel has a visible timber grain, while MDF does not display a grain as it is made from wooden fibres.

The main difference is that MDF does not tolerate structural load, bending and twisting, and as a matter of fact is easily damaged by moisture.
