Ho fokotsa thepa ea anisotropic ea lehong la tlhaho le ho netefatsa thepa e ts'oanang le sebōpeho se tsitsitseng, plywood ka kakaretso e khomarela melao-motheo e 'meli ea motheo ea meralo: symmetry; le perpendicularity ea likhoele ka mekhahlelo e haufi. Molao-motheo oa symmetry o hloka hore li-veneers tse mahlakoreng ka bobeli a sefofane se bohareng sa plywood se be le symmetrical, ho sa tsotellehe thepa ea lehong, botenya ba veneer, palo ea lihlopha, sebopeho sa fiber, mongobo le lintlha tse ling. Ka har'a letlapa le le leng la plywood, li-veneers tsa mofuta o le mong le botenya li ka sebelisoa, joalo ka liphahlo tsa mefuta e fapaneng le botenya. Leha ho le joalo, likarolo life kapa life tse peli tse lekanang tsa veneer mahlakoreng ka bobeli a sefofane se bohareng sa symmetry e tlameha ho ba tsa mefuta e tšoanang le botenya. Liphanele tsa sefahleho le tse ka morao li lumelloa ho ba tsa mefuta e fapaneng.
E le hore plywood e lumellane le melao-motheo ena ka bobeli, e tlameha ho ba le palo e sa tloaelehang ea plies. Ka hona, plywood e atisa ho hahoa ka lipalo tse sa tloaelehang, tse kang tse tharo, tse hlano kapa tse supileng. Mabitso a lihlopha tsa plywood ke: lesela le ka holimo le bitsoa faceboard, lesela le ka hare le bitsoa coreboard; letlapa le ka pele le bitsoa topboard, 'me letlapa le ka morao le bitsoa backboard. Boto ea mantlha e nang le likhoele tse bapileng le letlapa la sefahleho le bitsoa boto e telele ea mantlha kapa boto e bohareng. Ha o kopanya boto ea cavity e se na letho, bokaholimo le bokaholimo bo tlameha ho shebana le kantle.
