What size MDF for this size and shape

[VioletG]

Hi,

What size piece of MDF should I get to create the shape and size?

The max width I can find is 2200mm , so will it need to be created out of two pieces?

Just wondered how you would go about this. It's to replace a damaged side of a staircase.

Thanks

Raise the skirting a little or add a little trim and you can get out of standard sheet 8’x4’.

That's a very shallow staircase.
Personally, I'd use 6mm ply rather than mdf. It is stronger and imo, gives a better finish, assuming you countersink, backfill and sand the screw holes plus, prime, undercoat and gloss (sanding between coats).

Thank you. It is an old Victorian staircase and the previous owner had placed a stud wall next to the stairs. when we removed the wall the side was missing and just a piece of damaged plasterboard sits there now in the shape and size I posted.

I assume all sheets come in mostly width of 2200mm. Is plywood as easy to work with as MDF?

Comes in 1.2m x 2.4m. Personally I prefer ply. You'll need all the proper tools whatever you do unless you're going to cover wonky cuts and gaps with trim etc
