Wonder if i can get some advice please.
I have built a new shed using 100x50 stud work on 400 centres and i am about the start the cladding stage and this is where i am unsure.
My original plan was to
1: staple a breathable membrane on the studs and then fix the cladding onto the studs, then 80mm of celotex on the inside followed by 12mm of ply wood.
Now reading the cladding guide “Thermo Wood” they say i should
2: Fit ply to the outside first to act as a “weather brake” then fix 20 mm batons to this and then fix the cladding to the batons. This leaves a 20mm air gap between the back face of the cladding and the ply wood.
What is the correct way? The guide i think is meant for the USA market where they use a lot of cladding on their houses.
Any advise would be helpful
