Safari Group sells a broad range of structural plywood in various sheet sizes and thicknesses from 6mm up to 27mm thick. Structural Plywood is made to Australian Std AS/NZS2269 and is produced in various stress grades such as F11, F14 & F17.

The most popular structural plywoods are C/D grade face and are used in many construction applications such as flooring, mezzanines, roofing, truck bodies, boat building, hoarding and much more.

Please note! Plywood should not be confused with formply, they are two different products! Plywood has a light coloured timber surface & is not used in concreting, whereas formply has a very smooth black film face surface which means it gives a smooth finish when used as formwork for concrete pours.
