Shed caldding

[Douglas2]

Hello, looking to build a 7'x5' shed. I will construct the frame from 63mmx38mm CLS and use 11mm OSB on the roof and 18mm OSB on the floor. However, for the cladding I have seem Shiplap and Weatherboard being mentioned....what's the difference/benefit of each?

Also, what is the most useful sizes? Was thinking of 15mm or 16mm thick for quality, but not sure what width/length it comes in.

Thanks

osb is not good on floors. it looks like weetabix and behaves the same when it get excessivly wet. Spend the extra and get WBP plywood, or some tanalised boards
