Plywood on the Farm

Exterior type Douglas fir plyr,vood is a material farmers like to use for silos, hog houses, chicken houses, brooders, feeders, grain bins, barns, milk houses and many other structures. Plyu'ood has gained rvide acceptance for small portable farm structures as lvell as larger farm buildings because it is sturdy and durable under repeated handling and for long periods of use.

The large, light-.iveight, puncture-proof panels speed construction no ntatter rvhether the farmer or carpenter does the work because each standard 4'x8' panel covers 32 square feet of area. And since plyrvood is real rvood, only ordinary carpentry tools are needed to rvork with it.

Plywoocl holcls nails and screlr,s close to the edge rvithout splitting or breaking ancl it is also the most logical material to be used in glued construction, which increases the strength and rigidity of a structure and permits simplified framir.rg. The tight u,alls formed with plyr,vood construction offer excellent insulating characteristics and at the same time reduce infiltration of dust and dirt to the minirnum.

Today, sanitation is recognized by agricultural engineers and farmers alike as an all important factor in successful hog raising. Pasturing has proved to lte the easiest system of keeping the animals in clean surroundings. To do so, horvever, invoives moving portable houses to a clean location from time to time. Here again plyl'ood, itecause o{ its great strength in all directions and nail-holding qualities, is the builcling material for best results.

In milk roonls and dairy barns, the advantage of painted, smooth, Puncture-proof plyrvood rvalls for strength and cleanliness is all-important. Here, u'here the panels are to be subjected to repeated rvetting and excessive moisture, Ilxterior type pl1'r'r'<>od is recommended.

Douglas fir plyrvood is nou, better equipped than ever
