I wanna say that a sheet weighs ~60 pounds or so, but it is too late for me to try and do the math right now for how much a square foot weighs. lol

This has been talked about before I think there is a thread about all different wood types and weights.

See ANSI/A208.2 (2002), Standard for Medium Density Fiberboard. Depending on species and binders (interior or exterior glues), typical weights are 39 to 48 . This equates to 2.4 - 3 LB/Ft2 for 3/4" MDF.

Plain MDF density ranging from 690 kg/m3 to 790 kg/m3. High density flooring MDF has a density of 850 kg/m3

If I remember correctly, 3/4" MDF is almost exactly 100lbs per sheet (49x97).

Ever tried picking up a 4x8 sheet up by yourself? Trust me, it weighs right around 100lbs.

I have trouble moving a 4x8 sheet alone... 100 lbs spread out over 32 square feet is a pain in the ass.

For some reason I thought they only weighed 75lbs. or so, I could be wrong, probly am. I bought some 1 inch MDF once and had to unload it myself, **** me that **** was heavy haha.

yeah, loading and unloading into your truck can be quite a feat by yourself.. had to do it a few times =/ i wouldn't doubt it on the 100lb scale
