    Arse.
    as a Senior architectural building technician supervisor (chippy) the cuzzy board will be fine, the issue is with the lack of fixing.
    Studs should be at a MAX spacing of 600mm and dwangs MAX spacing of 800mm for 9mm MDF
    AND glue the MDF nailing it off at 150centers.
    If your garage is damp and or insulated then sealing the mdf BOTH sides and all edges will be a good thing.

    Rubbish. Construction ply is fine for lining a garage with. Marine ply is waaaay over the top, unless you have major water issues.
    This is the south Island... its a dwang
    correct re ply.
