Shed purchase dilemma

[Richhen]

Hi all,
Really looking forward to your feedback here!
For roughly the same money you can get:

1. Shiplap dip treated
2. Overlap pressure treated

Obviously the best combination would be shiplap pressure treated, but if you had to compromise somewhere would it be in the construction or the treatment???

Also, what views on the fairly cheap overlap dip treated sheds? Know they won’t stand the test of time, but they tend to be cheap enough that you just replace them after 3 or 4 years????

Shiplap for me as it's no big deal to keep up treating the wood. I rather like it myself, painting the shed in the summer with a beer

would rather drink the beer
i love ducks back 2 coats ever 3 or 4 years on my now 13 year old pressure treated txg ship lap shed with no rot

Maybe I should lay off the beer

every thing we say sound perfect and makes full sense until our mouth or fingers get involved as they seem to interpretate things differently

Based on the comments, maybe I should do things in reverse.....
Consume lots of beer then go to the DIY shop to buy the shed and see what I come home with .
Hopefully it will be a shed!

No, you will probably get more beer and a takeaway
