Will Plywood Fit in Truck Bed?
Plywood is a versatile and affordable material used for a variety of construction, repair, and DIY projects. It’s often necessary to transport large sheets of plywood, and one of the most common ways to do so is with a pickup truck. But will plywood fit in a truck bed?
The answer to this question depends on the size of the plywood sheets, as well as the size of the truck bed. Full-sized pickup trucks typically have beds that measure 6.5 feet long and 5 feet wide with an interior height of between 20-24 inches. With these measurements in mind, most 4X8 sheets of plywood should fit without issue if they’re laid flat in the bed or stored upright against the sides.
On the other hand, if you have larger sheets or are dealing with an especially small truck bed – such as those found on mid-size pickups – there may not be enough room for all your plywood. In these cases it’s best to secure your load using straps or rope and make sure nothing moves while you drive. Additionally, you can also try cutting your plywood down into smaller pieces that can more easily fit inside your truck bed.
In conclusion, it is possible to transport large sheets of plywood in a pickup truck; however, it’s important to consider both the size of your load as well as the size of your truck before attempting to do so. Taking measures such as securing your load properly and cutting it down into smaller pieces can help ensure that everything fits safely and securely when transporting large pieces of wood in a pickup truck bed.
Conclusion: Generally speaking, most 4X8 sheets of plywood should fit inside a full-sized pickup truck without issue when laid flat in the bed or stored upright against the sides. However, it may be necessary to secure your load using straps or rope and/or cut down into smaller pieces depending on the size of both your plywood sheets and pickup truck bed.
