Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Braced in right direction yes.
Yes, although it is good practice and structurally better to run it to the far edge of middle beam rather than to the middle
Yes
I've used plastic strips to help further water proof.
Also, the is a gap between my doors and the side panels. I plan to cover the side panels with shiplap pieces. However, if I open my doors, the gap between my doors and the side panels closes, so I can't put shiplap over that space.
Have I installed my hinges backwards?

The hinges are not backwards..you do know the hinges go on top of the shiplap?
general comments for future reference in a clad unpainted plank style shed
in general the top will overhang all round
a gutter is preferable so the water off the roof cannot bounce/splash/get onto the structure surface or underneath
the walls and door should start protected at or near the roof and fully cover the structure and in general finish below the wooden structure off the floor
the floor will be spaced off the surface by at least 12mm preferably 25-35mm with an impermeable layer under the wood like felt or dpm
iff it has a concrete base as the floor it should around 50mm clear [raised ]off the ground and smaller than the cladding internal size that will in turn extend and overlap the floor slab by say 25mm so no chance off water even in a storm getting to the wrong place
