Larch cladding shrinking!

Ke1th · 29 Jul 2022

I fitted Siberian larch cladding to my summer house last year but recently it appears to have shrunk and gaps have appeared! It’s fitted with stainless screws at 400 centres through the tongues. Thought after it’d already been through two seasons that was that.

Is it just a case of butting them all up again? Or will they expand again?

butt them up with a 3mm gap if your doing it now or 2mm after a bit off dampness
