Together it's a dual-purpose panel: good looks and genuine structural capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for outdoor or exterior use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's bonded with A-Bond exterior phenolic glue and meets AS\/NZS 2271:2004, so it's built for semi-exposed conditions once properly sealed and finished. It's an appearance panel rather than a permanent-exposure product — for constant weather exposure or water contact, our Marine Plywood or exterior cladding ranges are the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from standard structural CD plywood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard structural ply (like our Hoop Pine CD F14 range) is graded for function, not looks. AB22 adds a smooth A-grade appearance face while still delivering F22 — a higher stress grade than F14 — so you're not trading strength for finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thicknesses do you stock?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6.5, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24mm, all in 2400 x 1200mm sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austral Plywoods","offers":[{"title":"6.5mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906507443,"sku":"PHPABEX241206","price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906540211,"sku":"PHPABEX241209","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906572979,"sku":"PHPABEX241212","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906605747,"sku":"PHPABEX241215","price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906638515,"sku":"PHPABEX241218","price":275.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24mm x 2400 x 1200","offer_id":46062906671283,"sku":"PHPABEX241225","price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/2454\/0275\/files\/MGD_Chrismont_206_edit-0d70bf0d.webp?v=1789788563","url":"https:\/\/www.justplywood.com.au\/products\/austral-ab22-hoop-pine-plywood-f22-exterior-grade","provider":"Just Plywood Melbourne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
