        "text": "Plywood or OSB wall sheeting offers practical advantages over standard drywall in active workshops, though it comes with tradeoffs. Wood paneling allows you to hang heavy tools, cabinets, and shelving anywhere on the wall without finding studs. However, drywall delivers superior fire resistance, a cleaner painted finish, and better sound dampening between the shop and neighboring properties. Many shop owners compromise by installing high-durability plywood on the primary tool walls and standard drywall on ceilings and secondary walls.",
