A half-inch 4'x8' sheet of plywood typically weighs between 30 to 40 pounds, depending on the type of plywood and its moisture content. Standard plywood, such as fir or pine, tends to be on the lighter end, while heavier types, like oak, may weigh more. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate weight.
