[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 138486, member: 1776"] https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplrn/fplrn059a.pdf This is pretty teckie - Is there someone here who can scan this and answer these questions... [i][EDIT] - found these charts too https://www.tecotested.com/techtips/pdf/tt_plywooddesigncapacities Looks like the plywood is 3 times as strong when laid one way vs the other.[/i] 1. Obviously 5 ply is better than 3 ply - can I get more plys in less height and have it be stronger? Looking to go less than 3/4 inch plywood for weight. 2. Laying it down, if i have a long span, do I go parrallel to the span with the outer grains or perpendicular to the span with the outer grains? Maybe you don't even need to read this to know the answer - Unless it's numbers, I'm clueless. Will [/QUOTE]
