I would have thought if it's for weather boarding it would be more than dry enough by the end of the summer particularly at 1/2"

 

That is quite a distance between stickers for such thin wood. Make sure they are completely in line with each other or you could have some quite bendy boards.

3 no stickers evenly spaced over the 2.1m length, say 400mm between them, reasonably on top of other

Is it likely to need more?

Easy enough to restack/resticker

cheers

400mm spacing sounds good but that should leave about six/seven stickers per length? Make sure there are stickers near the ends to stop twisting (some say it helps splitting too but I don't buy that).

Ah never did trust that particular bloody calculator!

Anyway no end stickers, and head-staggers or not, I devided by 5, not 4, for 3 stickers along a 2.1m length.

Oops

To revisit this post.

The cousin is looking to build a garden room, and since he does steel fabrication, we were in the notion of a galvanised steel frame, with insulation and ply sheeted internally, and I offered to cut weatherboarding for the outside.

I have a notion that I read somewhere that it did not really matter, or rather did not matter as much when conifer were felled?

Is this correct?
