t&g

Hi all I am finally finishing off the summerhouse and the last bit to do is the internal walls. These are being clad with horizontal T&G. The room is 2.8m x 2.5m with the longest walls being the back wall and front (75% windows and doors) I was intending to start with the back wall but wondered...

Hi all, I am just about to fit a shed door to my shed/summerhouse. The shed is made from T&G shiplap timber and I was going to use the same wood for the door. Every photo/design always shows the door with the T&G vertical as opposed to horizontal ( which is the format of the shed cladding) Is...

Hello fellow forum users, Quick question for experienced carpenters/builders out there. My floor boards currently meet right in the middle of where joist notching is. What's the best way of fitting the t&g floorboards in my case, so these don't sag and bend the copper pipes then walked on...

Hi All, I am currently re-boarding my loft after lifting old chipboard to put down insulation. I am using 22mm P5 T&G Caberfloor boards. 2400mm x 600mm. The floor was previously strengthened and levelled by running 3x2 joists at right angles across the top of the existing 4x2 joists. The...

On a new pine t& g floor, before varnishing - I was going to use the light oak to counteract the orange effect that sometimes manifests on varnished pine. How quickly will the dye dry? Presumably I'll have to get it down very quickly to avoid bolder patches of dye produced by letting an edge...
