Sheet of plywood last year = $8, this year = $54.
- braunshedd 6y agoIf we're using anecdata, I've seen $20 plywood sheets going for $40 which is double the normal price, but not 7x.
- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoI think it depends on region. I've heard of $20 sheets going to $70+ in California, and I could see someone who is close to production in Oregon seeing an increase from <$10 to >$50.
- panzagl 6y agoWhere was a sheet of plywood ever $8? Even a sheet of masonite has been over $8 for years...
- mindslight 6y agoWhat are the specs on this "sheet of plywood" that was $8 any time within the past decade? Maybe some crappy OSB? Or one of those precut 2x2 panels?
- solomonb 6y ago7/16" OSB went from $8 to $55 in Los Angeles. ACX is around $75 now.
- mindslight 6y agoRough. I'm just sitting here wanting to build a new desk and some shelves, like I guess winter is a better time for projects anyway. Although I haven't actually priced plywood in my area yet, maybe the nice stuff has gone up comparatively less. (and maybe LA will finally learn how to make multistory buildings out of something besides wood?)
- solomonb 6y agoThese prices are nationwide (and apparently international?). I think it is worst for construction grade material but I haven't called a real lumber yard to get prices on hardwood or cabinet grade plywood. I was going to build a greenhouse out of poplar but noped out of that design and went with a hoop house made from bent fence posts.
