, anyone notice a massive bunnings MDF price increase?
Anyone notice the price of MDF sheets go up at bunnings like 20-25%
A 12mm sheet 900x600 is about the same as a 17mm 1200x595 sheet of formply...?
Price went up like %20

I only buy 2400x1200 sheets. The prices have been about the same as they were 2 years ago. Though I don't buy enough or care enough to notice a fluctuation of a buck or two. Only adds up to maybe an extra 6bux/year to me.

Are you sure?
Website shows 12mm x 900x600 as $7
No price for 17 mm 1200x595 sheet of form ply but 2400 x 600 mm is $35 so half that is at least $17

Price hike may reflect how endangered the MDF tree has become. Search as I have around here I can't find any growing at all.
Tis the time to be jolly

The grain pattern is a bit ordinary though.

Here's a photo of the MDF tree. The sheets grow on the vertical. Makes harvesting easier.

I prefer the stuff that comes from the Melamine tree, it's white, like Christmas should be.

That's not what I see on the Bunnings website.
This is what I see. There's no 1200 x 595 but there is 1800 x 595 mm.
It must be a run out on theat form ply size because none of the other sizes are at these prices.

That's not an MDF tree.
This is an MDF tree.....
I believe they grow in the industrial areas of Thailand and similar such exotic locales.
