Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01Cargo length from the liftgate to the back of the front seats, seats folded
  2. 02Width between the wheel wells, usually under 48 inches
  3. 03Liftgate opening height and width
  4. 04The sheet size, 48 by 96 inches for a standard 4x8

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Assuming a 48 inch sheet fits flat between the wheel wells when most SUVs are narrower
  2. ⚠Measuring cargo length with the seats up
  3. ⚠Forgetting the liftgate opening can be smaller than the interior
  4. ⚠Ignoring the front seat position, which adds usable diagonal length

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in an SUV?

    In most midsize SUVs, only angled. The sheet is 96 inches long and typical seats-down cargo length is 72 to 84 inches, so you slide it in diagonally with the front seat forward. A large SUV with all rear seats folded may take it flat.

    01
  • Can plywood lie flat between the wheel wells?

    Rarely. A 48 inch sheet needs 48 inches of clear floor width, and most SUVs are narrower between the wheel wells, so the sheet rides on top of the wells or on an angle.

    02
  • What if I cut the sheet down?

    Cutting a 4x8 sheet in half to 48 by 48 inches makes it fit flat in far more SUVs, since the length drops below the cargo floor length. Many home centers will make the first cut for you.
