Van plywood lining (often called ply lining) is the process of fitting wooden panels to the interior walls, doors, and floor of a van to protect it from damage and wear.

Plywood lining helps:

• Prevent dents, scratches, and internal damage
• Protect your vehicle’s resale value

• Provide a solid base for shelving and racking

Typical ply lining kits include:

• Side wall panels
• Rear and side door panels
• Wheel arch covers
• Flooring (often anti-slip coated)
