Hi,
After seeing the price/quality of large sheds for sale, I am mulling over the idea of building my own. Haven't fully priced or sourced the materials, but have a rough design in mind. What I was wondering was what was the best kind of wood to use? (don't know much about wood, but here goes)
Structure - should I go for treated exterior wood, or will the normal kiln dried stuff be ok? As it will be inside the cladding can I use the regular interior softwood, or should I go for pressure treated exterior?
Clading - This I assume must be soft wood as I have seen no shiplap or t&g that isn't. The shiplap is a bit thin (12mm) or is is it always like that. Would t&g floor boards be excessive.
I have a Wickes very close to my house which will mean I can get all wood in a few visits.
Are there any websites which may be useful, preferably UK based. Loads of US. sites with plans, but no one says what the materials used are. They just say you can get everything from Home Depot!
Any advice is welcome, and will be greatly appreciated.
