Hi, guys. I have a studwork garden building which has had to be built very close to, but not touching, a higher brick wall. I have clad three exterior sides in shiplap, but the side close to the wall has about a fist of clearance and I can't nail or screw anything from that side. That side of the building is also an irregular shape, i.e. it is not just "square" but steps wider as you go up. Hard to picture, but just know that it's not regular.
The options I can think of are either some kind of hard sheet material (would have to be somewhat weatherproof, but ply would probably last long enough), which I would have to cut into a few pieces and slide in from the side, and screw from the inside. Problems include no way to seal the joins from the outside, and having to screw from the inside.
Or, perhaps some kind of soft/roll material that I could apply, and bring around the edges a few cm to batten on. Again, though, I can't fix that to the studwork from the outside of the wall.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'll get some pictures in daylight tomorrow.
Many thanks,
