http://www.wickes.co.uk/Cladding-Shi...ng/invt/120806 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). |
