Anyone done hit and miss boarding on a shed?

If rain is running down the face of the horizontal boards and the wind is blowing it will force it in through the gaps. Why not vertical same as fencing ?

That makes sense to me

I made a simple fence to go across my drive, its what i call hit and miss boarding, you may agree or not? Was £60 for everything, but allows the wind to go through it, but driving rain doesn’t, i end up with a dry spot behind the fence, (until natural forces and spread of water occurs) i’ll be cladding my log store in the same way when i build it on to the rear of my garage. Looks neat and tidy too.

Looks good and for a shed could be done with boards from pallets

Thanks OSM, i just found stripping pallets a ball ache, we have a local supplier up here who is DIRT cheap for tanalised products, so just not worth the time and effort, and i dont need to paint it. The £60 included hook & band hinges for little gate at left, and main section of fence which allows me to swing the fence forward or backward, or even lift off the posts if i need to get anything bigger/wider than the fence further down the drive.

It's not ideal due to the thickness, but planning on building another log shed this year, and will try cladding in used scaffold boards as seem to have a good source for them

Which firm do you use for materials?

Railsidings at Gisburn, behind auction mart, Richard “waddy”
Really good to deal with and helpful.

I used 4x1 with 2 inch spacings. With the back of the shed backing on to a row of hornbeams and the opening facing the prevailing winds only one side is subjected to driving rain. Not a great deal gets through and if you stack it right up it’s only the end logs which will soon dry out with the rain

Used them loads over the years, can't grumble at their service. Fed up with empress not having stock. I also use timbermatic directly behind empress for fencing panels as they are a damn sight better built

Empress very expensive, double price on most things to what waddy charges.
Guy at timbermatic selling up, had enough. Travelling in from stockport every day has took its toll i think.
