Structual or non structual

[scorps]

Hey guys,

Im building a few new enclosures, do most people use structual or non structual?

The total price is about $100 difference so I'm unsure what to go with, happy to pay the extra just didn't know if it was necessary.

Huh? Structural or non-structural what?

Oh sorry, plywood

I use structural, as I have to stack all my enclosures on top of each other.

Sructural plywood is more water resistant than normal plywood and is used a fair bit for concrete form work

no need to go structural, if using just for enclosures save yourself the coin and use it to buy some equipment

Well that's what i thought, Ive always used structural but was told its not really necessary.

im a chippy and structural is not needed. normal plywood would be more than enough. people stack melamine 4 viv's high and plywood is stronger than that. we use structural for as stated above concrete formwork and bracing for houses. go the non structural snakes are not that heavy...

If you need to hold back full grown Anacondas then go with structural, otherwise normal ply will be fine.
