Abstract
A panel and a system of panels having improved dimensions are provided. The panel may be a plywood panel, oriented strand board panel, or the like. The panel has a length of about 144 inches and a width of about 32 inches. The system of panels may have similar dimensions and may include, for example, edge profiles which are complimentary, such as a tongue and groove arrangement. The dimensions of the panel may allow, for example, more convenient cutting, handling, carrying, and support spacing options. Edge profiling along the panel may allow a system of panels to be assembled conveniently while offering optimal structural properties.
