Masonite

Masonite is not properly a plywood, as it resembles compressed paper more than plywood. It does still come in a 4' x 8' sheet, just like plywoods. We stock it in a 1/4" and 1/8" thickness. We also stock them as pegboard in the same thicknesses.

Pegboard is simply a masonite that has holes predrilled in it, so that you may use hooks to hang tools or whatever you like almost wherever you like.

One disadvantage to masonite products is that water or moisture will, over time, cause it to break down and sag. Moisture penetrates the paper layers of the masonite and can cause swelling, which eventually weakens the material.
