    RE: Subject

    Couple of thoughts.

    The plywood sold at the big box stores is strictly garbage.

    These days a lot of it comes in from China.

    At least consider 1/2(12 mm), CDX, 4 ply if possible, 3 ply in a
    pinch, rather than 3/8.

    Price difference is negligible.

    Once it is sealed, it will live in the environment.

    The weight difference is minimal and the strength will be improved
    immensely.

    Use S/S fasteners and grind flush when adhesive sets rather than
    remove them.

    Lew
