 October 22, 2024

I'll be sharing where I'm at tomorrow. It's coming along, but it's not the easiest wood to paint—that OBS stuff. But the perks are completely worth using this product. Before starting this journey to make your dream a reality, check out these benefits.
Why OBS Wood is Great for Your Garage Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a go-to option for building garages because it comes with a number of benefits. 

Check out these wonderful benefits:

• OSB is usually cheaper than plywood, so it's a wallet-friendly choice for garage walls and roof sheathing.
• OSB is pretty strong and durable, making it a solid choice for garage use, even though it's more affordable. It can handle the weight of stuff in the garage and won't warp or twist Installing OSB panels is pretty straightforward, making it a breeze to handle and set up, which helps cut back on time and labour costs.
• You can use OSB for various garage projects, including walls, roof sheathing, and even interior finishes.
• Going green: Because many OSB products come from sustainable wood sources, they are an environmentally friendly option.

What OSB looks like when installed.

Just a heads up that:

Moisture can damage OSB. While it typically handles moisture better than plywood, prolonged exposure to excessive water can cause it to swell and warp. This effect is particularly important to consider in garages where the humidity levels can fluctuate significantly.

OSB may require additional finishing touches. The rough look of OSB isn't exactly a showstopper, so it usually receives a coat of paint, some primer, or other finishes to make it look better. 

If you're considering using OBS in your garage, it’s a beneficial idea to chat with a building pro to make sure it fits your needs and meets local building codes.
