Is there such a thing as exterior grade plywood anymore? I asked for a quote for that speficially from a building centre, and got back a quote for “standard spruce”. That doesn’t sound like exterior grade to me, but maybe exterior grade has become “standard” since I last bought plywood.

Trevor,
Yes it's the same stuff. If you look at the sheet it will have stamps on it showing it's rated for exterior use.
