I heard its better if you put it on the rough side of the ply,maybe he put it on the smooth?

What plywood would that be? Maybe if you bought finishing plywood where one side has to look good. Good luck with your tank, the guys tank looked good until he drained it to move it and the entire bottom was soaked!

Contruction ply has a smooth side and a rough side,Basically the cheapest one.

Really? I do construction as a side job now instead of a main source of income and never noticed that. I guess ordering plywood in the morning texture is the last thing on my mind.

Heh,me two!But when you think about it, wood siding is OSB.

Ya but I never thought about it. I always see the osb roofs and always wondered why they werent covered in tarps when it was raining. Now I get it OSB > plywood

People are scared of OSB because its cheap as (lol) woodchips/sawdust
