How to Calculate
To calculate plywood weight, multiply the sheet's volume by its density. First, convert all dimensions to feet (thickness in inches ÷ 12), then calculate volume as **length × width × thickness**. Multiply the result by the appropriate density: 34 lb/ft³ for softwood, 45 lb/ft³ for hardwood, or 36 lb/ft³ for marine-grade. For example, a 4×8 sheet of 3/4" softwood plywood has a volume of 8 × 4 × (0.75/12) = 2.0 ft³, which weighs 2.0 × 34 = 68 pounds.
Formula & Method
Weight (lb) = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × [Thickness (in) / 12] × Density (lb/ft³)
Where density is typically: • Softwood plywood: 34 lb/ft³ • Hardwood plywood: 45 lb/ft³ • Marine plywood: 36 lb/ft³
