Standard drywall weighs about 3.4 lbs per sq ft per inch thickness. Water resistant drywall (greenboard) weighs about 3.9 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. Firecode C drywall weighs about 4.2 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. These are approximations, as the ratio of core vs. covering varies for different thicknesses, thereby varying the exact weights. So, 1/2" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.5, or 1.7 lbs per sq. ft. 4' x 8' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 32 s.f. = 54 lbs. 4' x 10' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 40 s.f. = 68 lbs. 4' x 12' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 48 s.f. = 82 lbs. 5/8" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.625 = 2.2 lbs per sq. ft. 4' x 8' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 70 lbs. 4' x 10' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 88 lbs. 4' x 12' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 105 lbs.

An average 4x8 sheet of 5/8 drywall will weigh approximately 70 pounds on a dry moderate temperature day. -Go and weigh one when it's been outside, even under poly, on a rainy day and you will see a considerable difference.

There is no '1' . An 'old' sheet of 4x8x1/2 weighs about 54 pounds. That is the standard sheet.

Now it's being superseded by a 'light' sheet, same size, but weighs only 32 pounds or so.

Old style drywall in this size is around 78 pounds . -I say old style as many drywall boards are now coming out in 'light' gypsum that is about 30% less weight.
