There are websites that say that OSB VS Ply (same thickness of course) Is very similar. In fact there are a couple of websites that say that OSB is stronger than standard plywood because it doesnt have air pockets. But when it comes to OSB vs High quality plywood,they are still alike,but the plywood has more lateral strength, thus OSB is more flimsy than higher quality ply.OSB seems flimsy because Standard osb is 7/16 (the stuff you always see at HD) and standard ply is 3/4 (same stuff up front at HD). But compare 1/2 inch OSB to 1/2 inch ply and the OSB might even be less Flimsy. Do the same with special order (sometimes HD has them) 3/4 OSB and regular ply,and the ply gets beat,except when it comes to lateral strength.(I did my research )BushFishRox;1975911; said:I dont know about OSB, I think it might be a little flimsy.
I noticed in your other thread you said OSB is stronger then Ply Wood, which isnt true... it maybe cheaper than ply wood but not stronger.
