cladding

[Daniel-K]

can anyone recommend anywhere to get cladding from except b&q to go on the out side of the obsy? i was just going to use OSB but the boss said she doesnt want a shoe box in the garden so i have to make it look some what respectful

Well, I expect Wickes sell it. Possibly Travis Perkins, too. You can also try all your local timber yards to see what they have on offer.

Alternatively, how about painting the OSB?

Why not B&Q. As suggested Travis Perkins will have it, as will Wickes and B&Q. Don't forget to treat it front and back and buy the thickest you can afford.

i can budget for this from b and q is this thick enough?

I covered the visible sides of my obsy with 'waney edge' pine boards' from a local timber merchant. They were about £5 each for a 3m length but I didn't need that many ase they are over a foot wide and already pressure treated. Just needed a coat of quality red stain to colour them (never use that awfull acrylic 'wood treatment'- use a proper penetrating finish).

I'd vote for a timber merchant, too, but I've no idea if they're the sort of businesses you get in towns and cities.

Alternatively, nip to B&Q and get a roll of lining paper and whilst she's out, wrap it around the obsy and paint "Adidas" on the side

Sheet steel cladding.

I DON'T recommend Wickes! (or other DIY stores for timber). Use a local timber merchant - much cheaper and much better. I got very nearly all my timber, including cladding from our local merchants - good quality and a lot cheaper. That is the "real deal" to quote a certain antiques TV programme

Sheet steel cladding.

Now that's belt and braces building.
