TACO Metals White Polyethylene Marine Lumber 12x27
TACO Metals White Polyethylene Marine Lumber 12x27 — Product description
This is TACO Metals white polyethylene marine lumber, a 12 by 27 inch sheet at 1/4 inch thick. It's the board you reach for when wood would rot. It shrugs off water, sun, and salt, cuts with standard tools, and never needs paint or sealer.
If you've ever watched a piece of plywood swell up and delaminate after a season in the bilge, you already know why marine lumber exists. This TACO Metals sheet is solid white polyethylene, 12 inches long by 27 inches wide, and a quarter inch thick. It won't rot, it won't absorb water, and it doesn't need paint or sealer to survive out there.
Boaters reach for a board like this when they need backing behind a cleat, a base for a fishfinder or a small electronics box, a shim, or a clean mounting surface that'll outlast the boat. It cuts with standard woodworking tools, drills clean, and takes a screw without splitting. The white finish keeps its color in the sun and wipes down easily.
At a quarter inch, it's the right thickness for backing plates, spacers, and light-duty panels rather than structural framing. If you need thicker stock for a seat base or a console top, step up to a heavier sheet. For trim work and repairs where wood just won't hold up, this is the piece you want on the shelf.

Frequently asked questions
What is this marine lumber made of?
This TACO Metals sheet is solid polyethylene, not wood. That's why it won't rot, swell, or absorb water like plywood, so it holds up in wet spots where real wood fails.
What size is this sheet?
It measures 12 inches long by 27 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick. That thickness suits backing plates, spacers, and light-duty panels rather than structural framing.
Can I cut and drill it myself?
Yes. It works with standard woodworking tools. You can cut it on a table saw or with a jigsaw, drill it, and drive screws without it splitting. Just don't overtighten your fasteners.
Do I need to paint or seal it?
No. The white color goes all the way through the board and the polyethylene doesn't need paint or sealer. Wipe it down with soap and water when it gets dirty.
