Yes, you can fix it to shed battens using a staple gun. It's advised you use 14–16mm staples. Staple guns offer a quick installation method with minimal splitting, but with slightly lower holding strength compared to screws or nails.

How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
Non-structural hardwood plywood sheet, measuring 2440mm x 1220mm (8' x 4') with a 3.6mm thickness.
Made from cross-laminated hardwood veneers, kiln-dried and bonded with moisture-resistant adhesive, classified to EN636-2 (suitable for humid interiors or sheltered exteriors when sealed), it provides high strength, stability, and impact resistance.
Widely used for furniture backing, cabinet linings, and panelling, the smooth hardwood face is pre-sanded, allowing for painting, staining, or clear finishing where appearance matters.
Features & Benefits
- Cross-grained veneer construction: Alternating layers add stability and reduce warping.
- Humidity-Stable Bond: Meets EN636-2 standards for humid environments. While the adhesive is moisture-resistant, the wood requires a protective coating to prevent rot and water damage if used in wet areas or outdoors.
- Non-structural classification: For decorative and light-duty uses only.
- Hardwood face veneers: Smooth, sanded surface can be painted, stained, or clear finished.
- Lightweight handling: Easy to carry, cut, and fix in place.
- Standard sheet size (2440mm x 1220mm): Compatible with common joinery formats, minimises waste.
- Thickness 3.6mm: Best suited to lightweight, non-structural applications.
Please Note: Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.
Applications
- Furniture backing: Provides essential structural stability and a dust-proof seal to the rear panels of cabinets and carcasses.
- Decorative panelling: Serves as a smooth, uniform substrate for internal wall linings when fixed to a secondary frame or existing surface.
- Drawer bases: Functions as a lightweight, low-profile component for the bottom panels of small to medium-sized drawers.
- Craft & Laser cutting: Offers consistent material density suitable for detailed CNC routing and high-precision laser-cutting projects.
- Inlay work: Acts as a precise base material for complex decorative detailing and marquetry in furniture manufacturing.
- Van lining: Used for ceiling and upper-wall cladding in commercial vehicles to reduce overall vehicle weight while protecting the interior.
- Door skins: Applied as a face material for flush door construction or to repair damaged door surfaces.
Installation Guidance
- Condition the boards: Store panels flat in the installation environment for at least 48 hours to allow the moisture content to stabilise.
- Seal all edges: Apply a wood sealer or primer to all factory and site-cut edges to prevent moisture ingress and edge swelling.
- Use appropriate fixings: Secure the board using staples, brad nails, or small-gauge screws at 100mm intervals along the perimeter.
- Apply adhesive where required: Use a high-quality wood glue in conjunction with mechanical fixings for a permanent, rattle-free bond in furniture applications.
- Avoid structural loading: Ensure this material is not used for flooring, roofing, or any application required to support significant weight.
- Fit in controlled conditions: Intended for interior or covered use; for permanent exterior exposure, use a marine-grade alternative.
Compliance & Performance
- Service class: EN 636-2, verified for use in humid internal conditions or protected exterior applications.
- Bonding quality: EN 314-2 Class 2, ensuring the glue line performance is maintained in humid environments.
- Non-structural note: This product is not CE/UKCA marked for permanent structural use in construction.
- Important note: This product must be fully sealed on all faces and edges with an appropriate preservative or coating if used in sheltered exterior locations to prevent moisture-related degradation.
