Got one of those walk in plastic greenhouses. The floor is just earth and
so I've got a few one and half foot square plywood boards to put down as a
flooring.
Will they last well enough to just lie down straight on the soil or should I
put some plastic sheeting underneath, so they might last longer and not rot
from the damp?
Are they outdoor quality ply of marine ply?
Marine ply is very uncommon - they are likely to be either one of the
ordinary internal grade ply or WBP (water-boil-proof) which is OK for
external applications.
But not standing on damp soil! Depending on lots of things, the soil
underneath such a greenhouse might or might not be dry enough.
