You just have to know what to ask for. I tried both and found no one knew
what ACX meant I asked for "Exterior Ply" and was informed that they don't have
any exterior ply since their plywood is kept inside the store.
So had to order real marine grade stuff at much higher cost, but the scrap
they used to guard the bundle was better than the best stuff at the home
centers.
It seems at least locally here they are using some kind of "strand board"
(Looks like a really coarse particle board made of big chips.) for exterior
sheath on walls and roofs rather than the old standby of ACX ply.
