where can I get some light weight wood and edging to makes shelves? (1 Viewer)

[Cliffdale]

I'm looking for similar to make extra shelves in the cupboards.

Some boards need to be about 600mm *600mm for boxing in parts of the garage.

Thickness of board is 10mm

Thanks

CAK do sell it, but only a few colours, you would need to pick it up though as the post is a bit high chance of damage.

Magnums sell it and will post, they are always wrapping up boards when we go in. However the lightweight board is around £90 for a 8 x 4 ft sheet. Don't believe that you will get 10mm thick though.

Ebay

It's called Vohringer plywood, it's a lightweight plywood, as said before I expect eBay wiki be your best bet otherwise you'll be buying a whole sheet, to be honest if it's just for internal shelves you could use normal 9mm or 12mm ply and get it cut to size at B&Q, it won't be that heavy anyway.

you will be able to get premade shelves at any of the diy stores and cut to size.

Not what you are for but as an light weight alternative we used plastic sheet 3mm thick

Don't know if he still has it but @Terry had some thin but very strong lightweight shelving stuff for sale that is made for shelving or table tops in mhs. . Looks like plastic .. not sure what it is.

Just made up a new shelf for one of our cupboards out of a left over piece of 12mm ply (well it was closer to 10 than 12!). Size was approx 22" x 18". The original price was around £20 for an 8' x 4' board. OK so it doesn't totally match the cabinet colour but hey it's in the cupboard and to he** with paying the cost of a made up unit.
Glued and panel pinned a fore-edge, which was cut down from an old glass bead, to it giving an upstand of c9mm. You can buy various bead profiles in, eg B&Q, if required.
Difference in weight over making this out of a lightweight board would be about the same as the driver having a haircut before setting off!
