My neighbour & I rebuilt his garage / workshop earlier in the year -
and used 3/4" Blockboard for the pair of doors (each was 4' wide x
about 7ft high). The blockboard is ply on the outside and
glued-together treewood battens inside - makes it very rigid.

In his case he had a couple of angle-iron frames which we fitted
around each door and bolted to the blockboard - but I think this
wasn't really necessary...

To tie in with the shiplap we lightly routed some fake 'joint lines'
across the doors - looks OK and shows no tendency to warp. Take care
to protect the edges of the board to keep moisture out.

Thanks for the info, I'll bear the blockboard approach in mind.
