Hi,
I have some salvaged wood which I intend to use of a medium sized shed. I have everything I need for skids, joists, studs, noggins, etc, etc, but the cladding is still a question.
Among the stock I obtained is 400m of 10mm x 100mm in 2.4m lengths. The obvious conclusion I came to is to use this for the cladding. It would be nice to figure out the best way to use it.
I have a table router and a hand router, so I was thinking of making the pieces into shiplap. I am aware that shiplap is normally thicker and deeper, and I was wondering what the concerns might be.
The wood is heat treated, but not pressure treated. It comes from the lids of boxes use to freight metal sheets around the world.
I plan to paint the cladding pieces before they go on with a good exterior wood paint.
Would someone care to tell me if this is a bad idea or there is a better way to clad with this stuff?
Thanks for reading!
