Let s face it garages take some abuse and when i see drywall inside the garage i just cringe.
Best plywood for garage walls.
The 1 2 inch plywood sheathing that goes on the outside of your house and on the roof can also make a good utility covering for your garage walls.
It s a wall covering that you can smack repeatedly with two by fours and you won t have to be selective about where to put hooks to hang your tools.
When it comes to garage walls plywood and drywall serve the same purpose.
The garage is the one place that requires ample space and the ability to hold many heavy materials.
Drywall doesn t do well when it get s wet it certainly won t do well when you slam something against it and it s a real pain when you want to hang things on.
Either osb or plywood is fine if you just want walls for your garage without much in the way of cosmetic bells and whistles.
Sheathing the interior garage walls with plywood is a great alternative to drywall.
Osb has a smoother and more consistent finished surface and a painted osb wall will have a smoother look than a painted plywood wall.
