    Default Source of inexpensive plywood in Melbourne

    Inspired by the NSW boys having so much fun in sourcing inexpensive ply for the shed or furniture. Do we have any cheaper supply of plywood than Bunnings?
    So far I found that Robot trading has them at a reasonable price of 41.79 for a sheet of 2400 x 1200 x 15mm CD non-structural ply. But it's not the BB/CC furniture grade at Trademaster.

    Are there any other good sources of good plywood?

    NB also found this one.

    I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, but Plyco and Timberwood Panels were our usual suppliers at my old work.

    Uptons building supplies in Epping seem cheap from what I see on eBay. There’s also A and R second hand on Sydney road/Hume hwy right near the ring road. Got some bargains on solid new timber there, shorter lengths etc. think their plywood is often overstocked caravan company stuff, the whole strip is caravan sellers !

    Bought melamine from kastoria about 5 years ago, was cheap and pretty good quality for the price.
    You boys like Mexico ?

    Plywood is one of Uptons specialties. They also trade as The Bunker in Qld and Tas.

    Last year we bought our marine ply panels from them for converting a trailer into a minivan. Good quality and we are very satisfied with it,

    They regularly run ads on Gumtree, and if they do the price is cheaper then, so check and quote the ad.
