wallpaper & plywood

[wa209]

Hi all , a project that i am doing is now onto decorating...i was thinking of using plywood , attach lining paper and then use a textured wallpaper over that..
Any special considerations re the plywood preparation..PVA ..etc or just a normal 'size' mix..thanks...

Can't you use plasterboard?

Hi , its in a summerhouse and i was a bit worried about damp etc affecting the plasterboards...not too sure if it would ?

You can get moisture resistant stuff (green).

Thanks Joe for reply... I have seen that...but wasn't too sure that it would defeat the purpose..i.e moisture resistant and then i slap a load of paste etc all over it...i don't know why i'm nervous regarding any plasterboard based thing . Prob because everything else is timber ?

Why would you want dreadful texture paper in a new build?

How do you know its dreadful?
Thanks but i think we'll leave it there
