Not happy with the shiplap on one of my sheds so thinking of over cladding with feather edged boards.
I'll be using 25mm x 125mm with 100mm on show, (i.e. 25mm overlap. Is this enough overlap?). fixed to 25mm x 100mm battens, (only a couple of pence more than 75mm wide so worth going wider as I can use any spare for other things).
So I'm looking for advice on nail guns.
First fix or second fix? Any recommendations on brand and model? I don't think I will get too much use afterwards so not looking for top of the range, just a decent reliable one that you can easily get nails for and doesn't require too much maintenance to keep it working.
As a rough idea, 1 side of shed will require about 50 boards, 1.8m tall, 4 fixing points of 2 nails each, (8 nails per board), so looking at a minimum of 800 nails per side, times 3, (other side and two ends roughly). So 2,500 as a ballpark figure.
