Shiplap external timber supplies

[HiZ]

Hi,

I am looking to repair a few of the rotten boards around my shed. Its shiplap style about 5" I think. Any ideas where I can buy this from in 8' lengths? Checked with a local timer supplier but they only had it for internal cladding use. They couldn't suggest anyone locally who may have it.

Any suggestions?

Regards Nathan

Champion timber if you are South East, they had special deals on cladding last month so you've just missed out on saving a few ££

I've been searching for a supplier of shiplap cladding in Central Scotland without much success. Keyline was the only one I found and I think they are a bit pricey. I'm looking for about 220 metres. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks big-all. I can't think of any off hand but I'll have a look through the yellow pages.

if i remember they wernt that far from the royal rowing boat [if its still there ]

look at the port of leith area salamander st off the links

I think Brownlees used to be there but I can't think of anyone else and neither BT or Yell list anyone in that area

I had hoped that I might be able to build a reasonably substantial 10' x 8' shed for around £400-450 but I don't think this is going to happen

ok sorry your having no luck i must admit its 5 years since i last looked

heres 2 lawsons in sighthill [where i spent my first 15 years in the timbers in sighthill rise ]any way lawsons in surrey do shiplap so assume they do as its the same company

my shed is 12x10 internal shiplap cost me around £245 for260m treated [12 x 110mm coverage [16x125]

 

[des_enzano]

Thanks again big-all. Lawsons gave me a quote for the rest of the timber but not the ship-lap so I assume they don't stock it. I haven't tried Braemount yet.

What size timbers did you use to build the shed?

I like the idea of the access doors to the roof area where you have your timber. I also like your double doors!

 

[big-all]

all timbers where 3x2 at 2ft spacings [treated underfloor]
the "A" frames for the roof are between 2ft and 4ft centres

all the flooring and roof where where built from 9 sheets of 18mm ply the cost of these surprized me though at £182

 

[des_enzano]

Here is a quote I received today - I thought the shiplap was reasonable but overall it's much more than I had hoped to pay

Material Qty Unit Rate Unit Total
45 x 145mm C16 Reg'd & Treated 6 4.8m £205.00 per 100m £59.04
38 x 89mm CLS Treated 36 4.8m £129.00 per 100m £222.91
9mm OSB 2400 x 1200mm 4 sheets £7.55 sheet £30.20
18mm F.E. Plywood 2440 x 1220mm 3 sheets £24.50 sheet £73.50
12 x 113mm Whitewood Shiplap 27 m2 £6.85 m2 £184.95

Sub total £570.60
Vat £99.86

go for 3x2 sawn much cheaper or 3x2" treated at £1.46 including vat per mtr they may have to rip 6x2" down the middle but a lot cheaper
i used 86m for my shed [walls and roof]that was just enough and cost £90


shiplap -----------------------£242
3x2" treated [floor bearers]--£28
3x2" structure-------------- £90

9 sheets 18mm ext ply-----£190

total ---------------------------£550

other bits of 2x1 3x1 4x1 treated for edging corners roof edging ect about another £50

forgot to say these prices include an extra 10 percent discount
i also paid extra to have the shiplap pressure treated [also included]
