Hi all,
Really looking forward to your feedback here!
For roughly the same money you can get:

1. Shiplap dip treated
2. Overlap pressure treated

Obviously the best combination would be shiplap pressure treated, but if you had to compromise somewhere would it be in the construction or the treatment???

Also, what views on the fairly cheap overlap dip treated sheds? Know they won’t stand the test of time, but they tend to be cheap enough that you just replace them after 3 or 4 years????

Shiplap for me as it's no big deal to keep up treating the wood. I rather like it myself, painting the shed in the summer with a beer :)

Based on the comments, maybe I should do things in reverse.....
Consume lots of beer then go to the DIY shop to buy the shed and see what I come home with .
Hopefully it will be a shed!

No, you will probably get more beer and a takeaway
