plywood 17gbp: good price?

I had just come back here to post the same thing! I had never seen it on the shelves at Wickes, perhaps it was ordered on request. Whatever were they thinking to change it?

It's cheaper to make? Rather worringly, the Onduline sheet now seems to be branded Wickes; as Wickes doesn't make anything, I wonder if the sheet is now Corruline and is thinner.

On no! I was thinking of buying some of that too!

The names onduline and coruline are so similar, are they made by the same company? I know onduline is highly recommended here but not coroline? Why is that? You've mentioned it is thinner, so I guess it is less strong; are there any other differences?

I've always thought it is a shame it only comes in 2m lengths. A 3m would be more versatile imho.

Same manufacturer, same material, but different i.e. thinner, lower spec product.

I found that the width was annoying - a full metre would be much better. A lot of sheds are built at about 8'x10' or 2.4mx3m, so 2m sheets give a very good overlap (the roof on mine is about 8 deg. so needs a full deck as well) but the side overlap is minimal.

I was hoping to use it on something a little bigger: a detached single garage with a flat roof. Could I DIY the trusses from 4x2 or would it be best to have them made? Thanks.
