Plywood can be manipulated into a variety of shapes and forms. This means that there are some standard measurements for certain applications, although the standard measurements used across most disciplines are four feet by eight feet (4’ x 8’) from most manufacturers of this type of wood. This is largely due to it coinciding perfectly with dimensions for applications such as joists, trusses, and load-bearing applications for drywalls. As we covered previously, there are different types of plywood for different applications and as a result, they can often vary considerably in weight.
