Default ShipLap Cladding

Adi wrote:
Have built a shed with a strong frame and used shiplap cladding. The
Cladding is securely nailed to the frame and has been treated with Fencelife
type treatment. The cladding however appears to be shrinking and I am
worried that the joins will seperate.

Did i miss doing something or is this normal


No sounds normal. Thats also why it helps if you only nail through
bottom quater of each board, that should leave the top of each board
freedom to grow and shrink as required without warping too much or
slowly working the mails loose.
