Waney edged what?

[Lazurus]

I have been asked to clad a cart shed for a colleague with waney edge boards, I have no idea on what type of timber would be suitable and how to go about pricing - The cart shed is not finished so exact amount required to be confirmed. Anyone offer any advice please?

[topchippyles]

sedor tends to be the most popular for cladding so just message the amount required and give your local supplier a call on price.

Larch is best value for money

anything in the cypress family really. what are you able to get hold of?

I have not tried any local mills yet until I know what I am asking for, also got to await final dimensions of the shed to price up, the customer also wants matching gates so could be a half decent job. Just wanting to find out the best balance between cost and durability.

if they want matching gates then get some douglas fir.

How is it priced, per ft, per board or cubic ft etc,

How is it priced, per ft, per board or cubic ft etc,

Depends where you buy it from.
At 12" wide, seasoned QS in 8' lengths with minor defects, air dried.
Not cheap, but high end rustic.
Roughly £20-£40 a piece depending on quality of grain.
For sidings you'd be looking at seconds. £20-£30 ish.
That's wholesale/bulk purchase.
*Prices may vary*

Expensively, last oak clad building I saw a lot of it had split and fallen off after 12 months , could not believe the cost either!
