Don't discount shiplap - I ended up finding a "proper" timber yard that
sold a very decent 16mm (from memory) at around 1/2 what Wickes wanted
for a flimsy 10mm board, and which brought the cost down, maybe not to
the same as feather-edge from Wickes, but close enough to warrant paying
the difference to get the shiplap.

Go to the timber yard, and talk linear feet (or metre, or whatever) and
get em to give you a quote.


I built mine on a framework made from scant timber, another cheap source
of pretty solid timber.

Last one I built was a few decades ago but I remember thinking that the
key was cutting the pieces for the frame very accurately. Then you know
that everything will be straight and square later on.
