Skatepark puts Norbord’s SterlingOSB through its paces

Skatepark puts Norbord’s SterlingOSB through its paces

Few applications demonstrate the physical properties and practical benefits of SterlingOSB more graphically than the 10,000ft2 Shred Skatepark in the Scottish town of Ayr.

The ramps at the skatepark use 18mm SterlingOSB3 as the main structural units and two layers of 9mm SterlingOSB3 are used to create the actual ramp surfaces.

Professional joiner and owner, David Hunter, said: “I use a lot of SterlingOSB working in the building trade and I know how rigid it can be, but also how flexible. I’d decided on SterlingOSB and, when I asked our designers for their advice, they said ‘definitely – SterlingOSB is the way to go’. When you look at the finished ramp, you only see the plywood. But it’s the SterlingOSB underneath that’s doing all the work!”
