Going to put in some soffit in WBP ply.
Previously always used 9mm ply, as trussed roof centres were at 600.

On this cut roof centres are at 400 .... is 6mm ply good enough, i.e won't sag between fixings ?
or do I need to use 9mm


Reason I would like to go with 6mm is that I would probably need to cutback the rafter horizontal cuts a bit more if 9mm use
 
I have tried using 6mm and it warps like hell so you have just as tough a time fixing more cradling to try and 'iron' out this problem.

Go with 9mm and have an easy life.
