Cladding for garden shed

[csservices]

Ive got to build a shed at home to move all my tools to as my folks are retiringand selling the farm so losing my current storage, planning on building it as basically stud wall frames in 3x2 as I have done one like this before and makes a good strong shed, anyway question is whats best/cheapest way to cladding it for longevity, have used featherboard before but can have problems with warping, was thinking about larch lap?

Larch or Douglas are the best options, 16x200 boards, I'd avoid feather edge as the shrinkage and curl on the thin edge is nuts

Corrugated iron sheets?

Yep, or breeze blocks, long lasting and little maintenance.

Feather edge is fine if you fit it correctly. I mill and clad a lot of buildings in Feather and don't have a problem. I would go 3x2 then breathable membrane then baton down stud then Feather edge in cedar larch or Douglas

Yep, pleasing to the eye, if not altogether practical in the long run.

25mm down to 12mm feather edge,200mm board with 25mm overlap, 450mm max centres on your framework, probably not the cheapest route but will last a good while, belt and braces go 300mm centres on framework

I'm going to replaceme the conclude sectional garage I've got with a block one as a more permanent stone but need to get this shed up to move stuff out of the garage first plus stuff from the farm, garden is terraced with stone wall so plan in doing it in wood is that I can build over the step so I will have a slit level shed but it will make 14ft by 8ft rather that 8ft by 6ft if I confine it to the same terrace as the greenhouse is currently on.

Sounds interesting. I would be interested in seeing some photographs of your build and your chosen cladding.
