B and E kitchens on Cape Hill Road quite often leave piles of MDF in good condition on Cape Hill Road for free pick up. You could give them a ring if you could get away with MDF.

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Over the top,

Basically I WFH in the garage a bunch so i lined it with gib. Looks ugly as so figured for a summer project just pretty it up with some plywood skills, maybe some negative detailing

In Puke, I'd say your best bet is going to Carters imo. They should have most of the CHH Ply range depending on what look you're after and what you want to pay (Ask nicely and I find they will often put it through as a cash trade sale)

Two comments, OSB is often cheaper than ply and is a better material, and if you don't mind mismatched stuff you can often buy a few sheets at a time off Trademe from people who got a bit too much for a reno/rebuild.

I lined my garage with the “poplar” ply. Has a nice finish and is relatively inexpensive at around $40 a sheet I recall I paid for 10mm. Got mine from Timu.
