Straight-edged (without tongue -and-groove) structural wood panels (plywood and oriented strandboard, OSB) are typically made to nominal dimensions of 4 ft × 8 ft. What are the actual dimensions of such a panel?

What will be an ideal response?


1/8 in. shorter in each direction, i.e., the panel dimensions are 47-7/8 in. × 95 -7/8 in. to account for 1/8-in.-wide space left between panel edges during their installation.
