Have just completed the main structure & tiling of the roof for a large outbuilding.
Next step is to fit 50 x 50 vertical battens and then clad horizontally on this with 25mm thick 'log wrap'.
This is a treated t&g which is 1/2 round moulded so that once fixed it looks like a round log ... i.e. like a log cabin.
Assuming this will last longer than thin shiplap. (unless anybody knows any better wood cladding)
At the top of the wall panels there will also be soffit between fascia and wall panel.
What is considered best practise ... fit soffit first and scribe in the last length of cladding ? ... or clad first.
The former would allow easier fiting of soffit ... fascia board I have routed in 1 groove for plywood soffit, and intended fitting a horizontal batten on panel to fix other long edge of soffit to.
The disadvantage could be the fitting of the last cladding strip.
