Part of what makes Shur-Way unique as a lumber yard is the large selection
of "Shop" and "Mill Grade" plywoods that we carry in addition to our normal
"On-Grade" plywood selections. You will find our "On-Grade" selections of
Exterior Plywood to be consistently at the lowest prices around. However, for
many projects you may be able to use one of our Mill- or Shop-Grade
panels that will allow you to save an average of 10- to 30% off our already
low prices.
CDX is general construction-grade plywood. On the face, it will contain
tight knots Up to 1 1/2" in diameter, some smaller open knots and
some face splits.
We Typically Stock: 4'x8' APA-Rated CDX 1/2", 5/8", 3/4"
ACX will have an "A"- or highest grade face, and a "C", as described
above, back. "A" faces will be defect free, or have the original knots
removed and repaired with synthetic filler. The end result will be a sanded
smooth, on 1 side, exterior panel.
We Typically Stock: 4'x8' APA-Rated ACX 3/4"
4'x8' Sanded 'Shop' 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4"
OSB, or Oriented Strand Board, is an engineered wood product produced by layering strands of wood
in specific directions. The resulting panel will have no internal gaps or voids, a variegated surface, and
structural properties similar to plywood. OSB is generally a less expensive alternative to plywood.
We Typically Stock: 4'x8' Rated OSB 7/16", 3/4"
Medium Density Overlay, MDO, is a panel product with a paper face overlaid on an exterior plywood
substrate. MDO is commonly used for paintable, exterior sign board, or concrete forms. MDO is a high
quality panel which is usually expensive, however at Shur-Way we commonly will have 'shop' grades
available in these useful panels which are often priced 30 - 50% less than graded panels.
We Typically Stock: 4'x8' MDO 'Shop' 1/2", 3/4" (Primed & Unprimed)

Dave's Helpful Hint:
Shur-Way carries Mill Certified exterior framing plywood similar to CDX plywood.
Mill Certified plywood is soundly-made, exterior plywood that uses veneers with knot
structures too large for a grade stamp. The result is a general use panel that is
very functional and can save you a little money over its graded equivalent.
We typically have4'x8' sheets in 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" thicknesses in stock.
