Old Laminate Flooring
mocphatvn:
Hi .. ive been given a whole load of old laminate flooring
i thought i could make some raised beds out of it
but im not sure how well it will last in the rain
does anyone know anything about this ?
snowdrops:
I don’t think even the laminate for even bathrooms would hold up to be honest. It’s a lot of work & expensive to fill if it then collapses
maddave:
Laminate floor is usually just a compressed woodchip/cardboard type layer in some glue, stuck to a picture of some wood. As soon as it gets wet it will expand and disintegrate.
Hortic:
I'm mainly concerned about formaldehyde and other chemicals leaching into the soil.
lettice:
Not seeing that would hold up well outside for long.
It would get damp very quickly, warp just rot.
