Wood Question

[dean9922]

just wondering if anyone has used this wood from home depot....i plan on building a 24X24X84 inch tank and using resin/cloth on the inside
this would save me a lot of cutting if it would work...thanks

i know this piece shown is only 20" but they do have 24" also

Laminated pine, well, the only problem is that it can delaminate. Other then that it is great wood. In theory, the glue holding the wood together is stronger then the water pressure, I just would not trust it.

I would be using resin and fibre glass cloth for all the seems, so i am hoping it would be good enough...thanks Z Trip!!

I did not read anywhere on the product description that this is laminated - looks like regular pine boards.

This would work, but not sure it is as strong as plywood, but if you are fiberglassing, probably not a problem. The Home Depot here in the US does some cutting for you. Usually the first cut or two is free and then they charge like $0.50 per cut. They are not precision cuts, but gets you to the rough size you need and easier to handle for transport.

i thought that it was real wood also and not plywood....wonder if it would be more prone to warping etc due to it "not" being plywood???
