Secure your site effectively and economically with our 18mm OSB 3 (Oriented Strand Board) Hoarding Sheets. Designed for demanding environments where structural strength and impact resistance are paramount, this engineered timber panel offers a heavy-duty solution without the premium price tag of plywood.
Measuring a standard 2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft), these sheets provide a formidable physical barrier. They ensure full compliance with site safety regulations (including CDM) while delivering exceptional durability for long-term installations.
OSB 3 is engineered by compressing layers of wood strands with adhesives in specific orientations. This process creates a board that is incredibly strong and consistent.
Superior Structural Integrity: Unlike traditional timber which can have knots or voids, 18mm OSB 3 is uniform throughout. This engineered construction offers excellent load-bearing capabilities and resistance to warping.
High Impact Resistance: The 18mm thickness provides a solid, dense barrier that is difficult to breach, making it highly effective against vandalism, forced entry, and accidental site damage.
Exceptional Value: OSB 3 offers a heavy-duty performance comparable to plywood but generally at a more cost-effective price point, making it the smart choice for large-scale perimeters where budget is key.
This heavy-duty sheet is perfect for projects requiring a tough, no-nonsense barrier:
Long-Term Construction Sites: Its weather resistance (when painted/treated) and sheer strength make it ideal for securing perimeters around major developments for extended periods.
Vacant Property Security: The rugged nature of 18mm OSB 3 serves as a strong visual and physical deterrent against squatters and fly-tippers.
Public Infrastructure: Provides a safe, sturdy shield around roadworks, utility upgrades, and railway maintenance, protecting the public from heavy machinery.
Events & Festivals: Ideal for "back of house" perimeters, compound fencing, and areas where a solid screen is needed to block views and control crowds.
Demolition Zones: Capable of withstanding the harsh environment of demolition sites, containing debris and dust effectively.
If you are unsure whether OSB 3 or Plywood is the right material for your specific project, our team is happy to explain the differences in more detail.
