This doesn't make sense to me - you had a 10' x 10' *** of plywood?

If not, and it was a 0' x 10' cover made from cutting 4' x 8' sheets and
fastening them to a frame, one would need to know the cut diagram -
based on the above description, you could have anything from 25 2'
scraps to 2 fulls, 1 half, 2 quarters, and an eighth - and depending on
how it was built, each piece/quad might not be identical, the fastener
type(s), and some more details on the framework (2" and 3" x _1/2"_??? -
are these ripped-down 1x's or plywood strips or ???) to form an opinion
on what might be the best way to proceed. Can you provide more details?
