    Can anyone tell me if this stuff is just peg board without the holes?
    I made my sons a Skateboard ramp and need to put down some Maonite
    on it. I was at Menards and they were as lost as me and said it was just
    peg board without the holes.

    Thanks for the help,

    T

    Very similar but masonite does not use any glues or resins to bond the wood fibers together.... I believe they bond via a natural process from heating them (the wood fibers) with steam.

    I can't seem to find a place around here that actually carrys Masonite just tempered hardboard.

    Tony, you would have to put the masonite on top of plywood or OSB because by itself it would break almost immediately. I would also coat it with some outdoor polyurathane.
