SA Pine: Rough vs Sized vs PAR - know the difference.

🪵 Rough SA Pine (E.g. 50x228)
Straight from the sawmill with a rough, unplaned surface.

🪵 Sized SA Pine (S5S) (E.g. 48x225)
Machined to a consistent size, with a smoother surface and some machining still visible.

🪵 PAR - Planed All Round (E.g. 44x220)
Planed on all four sides for a smooth finish and more accurate dimensions.

The more processing the timber receives, the more consistent and finished the end product becomes.

At Saplings, quality and value go hand in hand. 🤝

When it comes to plywood, price is only one part of the equation. Quality, consistency and performance matter too.

We stock premium-quality plywood from trusted international suppliers and reputable local producers.

There are more economical, builder’s-grade options available on the market, but these serve a different purpose and are not the grade of plywood we supply.

Hardboard vs HDF - Different boards, different strengths. The right choice comes down to the application.

Hardboard is thin, economical and ideal for backing panels, drawer bottoms and lightweight applications.

HDF is denser and stronger, making it better suited to cabinetry, furniture, flooring and applications that require greater durability and machining.
