thats it


Just a quick point to OP... now you know what you're looking for, try a
timber merchant. I DIY'd a shed, and found a local timber yard selling
16mm shiplap for around 1/2 price of what wickes were charging for (I
think) 12mm, and the quality was a lot better than what I'd seen propped
up in Wickes.

(note: I'm not laying into Wickes here, but if you're buying a large
quantity of timber, buy from a timber merchant - it's their
stock-and-trade).

trouble is when you dont have one local and you ask for some wood for a
shed on the phone it helps to know what its called :-).
on a side note do wood yards still exist? all the ones my dad used have
long since closed
