Beginner: Plywood wall at home

Hi group,

I'm going to build a plywood wall for 4yo. What plywood thickness do you recommend, given the whole height is 2700mm? Also, where to buy the quality sheets with low treatment for home use (assume bunnings is the closest)? I'm a hiker, not a climber.

Perhaps use the Search function at left hand side of screen?

I typed in plywood and searched on ‘Forum messages containing’ … and got 88 results;
I will leave it to you to check for your required information.

I'd go 18mm, it'd be strong enough for a grownup — I like Austral plantation hoop pine, it has E0 glue (low off-gassing). I get it from Melbourne Wood Panels in Thomastown. Standard sheet size is 2.4 x 1.2m, maybe plan your wall around that. You'll also need a bit of framing depending on how complex you want to make the surface. Basic would be to screw sheets flat to a wall, don't forget to put the T-nuts in the back first
