CLADDING THE NEW SHED | Wrap, batten and some great value Cedar!
Having gone with a post structured frame, the first job was getting the membrane on and some vertical battens ready for the cladding. The cedar is a nice alternative to treated and a great price!

#diyshed #cedarcladding #cladding
@-16:27 the child says: “There’s a Lady Bug…” the great thing is that even when helping the child is focusing her interest in nature. I’m watching countless shed builds and learning from each one. I’m almost at retirement age and keep in contact with Smithsonian Scientists and a Taxidermist that I worked with in Djibouti Africa. I’m a mechanic by trade but a lifelong fan of science. The one second part when his daughter talked about nature is great. I have to build a custom work shed due to my spacing, I’m thinking about cladding my shed with pine. Thanks for this video.
what kind of people would give this a thumbs down.working at home with your daughter helping you is fantastic.your a great family man.the world needs to clone you.lol.
Great tip for the corners, might try that for my shed!
Great garden shed build tutorial, nice detail, finish and excellent presentation. Subscribed
Love the template, much easier to position! Already made my own, ready to fit them...
looking great Tim. I built my shed a few years ago and its very intresting how different you have built yours to mine. I opted for a wooden framed floor with deckboard and screwed the side and end frames into the base. If you do plan on installing a window try and get an old PVC window and put the glass into a wooden frame it looks great and much more secure than single glazed.
With the cladding spacing you can just create four inch marks on each end of the shed corners bit like a story pole in brick laying saves messing about with a level or wood spacer.
Hand nailing close to the end, flip the nail over on something hard and hit the nail point with hammer to blunt it and it shouldn't split the end grain when driven in normally
But it's just as quick to pre-drill a hole. If you make a stack of boards and pre-drill all at once, probably quicker!
Love your vids m8, really nice work. Awsome too see some fartherly bonding too, i carnt wait till my little ones are helping out 👍
Loving the hidden screws on the corner detail.👍
Shocking for very easy guide to build a shed
Nice one Tim. Good beats playing on this one too 👍🏼
Incredible nicely done that shed is built better than some houses
Looking great , I’m interested how it’s going to look when it’s all finished .
Yeah good smell indeed 👃.... as usual great break down on the build ... even if someone has already thought of the hot glue the fact that Jo brainstormed that one out absolutely 🙌🏽 good one on her indeed and that spacer for the cladding especially the metal plate to secure the one so you can work the other *finger kiss* on that big 🧠 moment
Nice job as usual......well explained.
Great hide and seek place for your girls! Looking good so far. I built my studio with sip panels and it worked out well. Two sheets of 11mm osb, 4 x 2 easi edge, 50mm Kingspan and moisture barrier as you have done. Then cladding on exterior and plastered the inside.
Good stuff. We have SIPs designed into a future project. 👍
Winner dude, loving this project
That’s one nice looking shed 🍻👍
great work as always. where did you get the feather edge planks from? i have a double garage i wish to clad to make it appear like a barn conversion. thanks you.
Brilliant build. Well done.
could not have done it without her help mate :) she deserve more than most guy at work with me
I think you need to bring the beard back Tim!
You're doing a superior, job, as always!
Is there a particular reason you wouldn't put the nail higher up such that the next board overlaps the nail holes to hide them from view / weather?
Nice job Subtle detail i did on mine was to rip a board to the overlap you are using, in your case 30 mm and use it on the bottom to kick the bottom board
Good idea. 👍
Probably best to 3D print a custom nozzle for the nail gun instead of using hot glue. You can get exactly what you want then
My only suggestion would be put the window where you had the shute if you needed to do it once, you'll need it twice! Just for ease of moving large materials in and out the shed or for storage just remove a hinged window when needed that's easy enough.
Interesting to see how you clad your shed, I done mine slightly differently but I'm behind on editing so I've got a couple more videos before I get to it. For anyone that's interested, I've started a barn conversion channel, head on over to see how I get on over the next couple of years 😊
I would recommend treating the cedar to retain that beautiful colour. Wish I had on the cedar shingle roof I did, which has now turned grey
Made it better with a thumbs up
Can you remember what size stainless ring shank nails you used? Some great tips on your channel, thanks for the uploads. 🙂
@-3:58 you say: “That Worked…” the. Did you say Machinist Mate? If so, it’s great to hear about people working other fields and building/construction as a hobby.
Hi, great channel and have been watching for a while now. Lot of great information. Could you do a video on which nails you used for your various jobs and a review of the nailers you use. I've been told to use stainless steel with round heads for cladding as the D heads may not hold enough? Again, great set of videos, looking forward to more.
Clipped D head nails hold very well, and certainly enough for cladding IMO. Future video on nailers though. 👍
Top notch stuff!!!
I love ur projects
You could buy one of these HIKOKI 4100400 NOSE CAP FOR NR1890. Got mine from Anglia Tool Centre there were very helpful
Nice one mate
When you first buy a new nailer, they usually come with a rubber cap... first one I bought I threw it away because I didn’t know that it was for that exact purpose! We all learn sometime!
Brilliant, as usual.
The ladt bug could have ruined it but she held on , true champ :)
Shed envy...👌🏻
Nice work, I have a breeze block shed, is it ok to put foil wrap and then battens and then cladding?
What are the corner pieces you have used please? I'm at that stage now deciding how to weather proof gapd from the cladding. Thank you
Were the fixings for the cedar stainless? I ended up using 50mm stainless screws from screwfix cos I couldn't find any decent nail options.
Yes all stainless. 👍
The nails for the cladding, can they be placed higher up on the featherboard so that the overlap will cover them? or will this compromise strength too much as they're not in center?
It makes the risk of the boards curling or lifting away much higher. By having them a third down you clamp the boards tighter to each other.
I quite likethe muzak Tim....
Looking fab! I'm planning my own 12x10ft shed at the minute and the costs are mounting up, I was going to make it out of 3x2 framing for all sides, floor and roof with 1" ply floor, a bit less for roof, EPDM rubber roofing and overlap cladding but think I'm going to scale back a bit. Looking at that featheredge, it's got a great look and I'd save a few quid going that way. Is there any reason youve framed this like you have rather than the usual build each wall and screw them all together?
No need for floor this way which was the original plan. Check last video for full explanation. I’d usually go off a slab or timber floor with studwork. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple watched the previous one a few times now and I saw you weren't going to go for a concrete floor to begin with so it was a agricultural design to start, I've watched a load of shed build videos and they all build each wall individually and then screw together (Colin furze used 4" posts in the corner like yours though) I like this method and it looks like I'd use a lot less materials but are there any downsides to doing it this way? Or is it just you were going with no solid floor and it just evolved.
@@TheRestorationCouple just read the description on the previous post about being more of a stud wall fan 😎👍🏼
Ian Morg ig I was building a field shelter or other garden structure I might but had I known I was going to do a slab I probably would have stud built.
@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks for the replies 😎👍🏼
Nice one. My only thought is that I would have nailed the boards at the top, so the nails are covered by the next board. But that's just me. ;)
Only one nail per board to allow movement, if only at top then the bottom wouldn’t clamp right. 👍
Fair enough. :)
I am slightly confused about the concrete flooring. When you started the project you mounted the base on pillars, which appealed to me as I am about to start a similar build this year and would like to use less concrete for environmental reasons. However you have retrospectively poured a concrete base. What was the thinking in approaching this method instead of creating shuttering and pouring the base before the build, would the pillars not have supported the shed adequately?
Just a change of planned use mid build. The post construction is a good option for a floorless shed and even if you ended up with a slab inside it, then thickness can be a bit less as not structural. As my blacksmithing gear will be in there plus a couple other workbenches I decided that a finished floor was a better option. In retrospect I would likely have shuttered the base and built stud work off, which is more like how the main workshop will be done next month.
What is the cover strip that your using for any gaps, to cover any joints? You mentioned it in you video ...cover strip but what type?
Cat like reflexes @9:17
Hi would love to no a break down of the price to build something like this
Were did you get the feather edge cedar boards from?
hey.. was wondering which oakley sunglass model u are using?
Where do you buy all your timber in the Bath area please? Regards Dave
Great stuff, what’s the backing track please.
Hi Mate, I am planning to do cladding to my shed. I am a newbie in cladding. May I know what is the minimum overlapping of cladding please? Thank you
At least 25mm but I usually do a little bit more.
Sorry pressed the wrong thumb. I really really like this build
Go and press the correct one then! 😂
Your gun nailer. I found a compressed air gun nailer was better. Obviously disadvantage is you need a compressor, noise of the compressor when on, but the tools are cheaper and better than cordless ones imo.
there is nothing then building your own shed
Ratch Riat did you mean that there's nothing better than building your own shed?
yes
Hi, just looking at building a descent shed. Did you add the double sided tape to the breather membrane? Cheers
It's integral to that product which is handy.
@@TheRestorationCouple great, what make is it? Cheers
James Kirby EasyTrim I think is the brand. I linked in the description to one version.
Can i do only front of my shed cladding ?
Good job as the American's say. Nice to see you got help from your daughter. Although don't let Health and Safety see this video. Children are no longer to be allowed to be children.
nice to see prince harry buiding a shed
What is the purpose of the battening? Could you not just clad on top of the membrane? Or do you need an air gap or something?
His framing method is... interesting... put it that way. Horizontal cladding needs vertical supports at 400-600mm as he said, which his frame doesn't provide. There is a building style that uses battons on top of membrane (probably on top of ply sheathing) which is for the ultimate water-resistant system, especially in places that get lots of condensation or temperature extremes.
Have you got a video of the door build mate?...im literally copying your exact build
Can weatherboards be sloped downwards on an angle?
Tim, great work, can I ask you which nail gun do you use and why, I'm in the market for one myself.
Links in description. It’s the Hitchi, Hikoki one. 👌
@@TheRestorationCouple Soft tip for this nail gun HIKOKI 4100400 NOSE CAP FOR NR1890
adam stockton thanks. Yes had seen that one but figured I would rarely need it, hence the half a job glue gun route. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple ,español..porfavor ..gracias
Just bought 3 pieces of 8” cedar beveled lap siding 8 feet long. It cost 110.00 or 4.50 a board foot. You must have 3K in siding here.
£200-300 max all in I think.
I used the widest rough-sawn fence palings I could get. Discard or cut down a few that were too knotty, and it still works out WAY cheaper than "proper" cladding.
🎉
Nice job, we want to do a shed in cedar t n g . Any ideas for cost please
Depends on what cedar but if clear imported stuff then £50 m2 plus probably.
@@TheRestorationCouple thankyou
When i saw the thumbnail i thought he was Ned from the try guys . I was so confused wondering why he was building a shed ?? Then I click and it is Tim and was oH This now makes sense now. lol I do like Til with longer hair the hair makes him look Younger.
Just curious Tim, having recently experienced this myself - have you ever had a complaint from a neighbour about making noise?
Most likely discussed any possible amount of noise and other details with his neighbour before he started the project. Also probably has a good neighbour that is understanding to start with! We are very lucky to have some understanding and friendly neighbours. Others unfortunately not so!
Not a big fan of the unsupported membrane. Air pressure differences are going to destroy that over time, and I'm not sure that butting insulation against it is a great idea either. OSB sheeted studs on a poured base would have made this project so much easier!
Tim, was the cedar price correct? Very good value, what were the dimensions?
150mm featheredge. It’s just UK grown cedar but great stuff. Works out around the same price as treated featheredge or a little less. I picked it up at our local mill, Charltons.
What nail gun did you use, is it a finish nailer or first fix?
First fix.
@@TheRestorationCouple nice one thanks!
As my wife says it’s a nuisance running out of energy at the critical moment. 😁
How was your 45x45 corner piece fixed please?
Screwed in through battens so hidden screws.
A good tip from Robin Clevett is to secret fix through the edge of the battens into the corner post first, then fix the corner assembly to the building through the face of the battens
red hot chilli peppers huh ^^
It's rather too late to suggest this but ... Instead of a single door fit a door-and-a-half. Think of an inward opening pair of French doors where one dor is full size and the other about half the width. The half door has shoot bolts and most of the time stays locked shut. However, when you want to get something larger in (or out) the extra width is a real boon. I saw this on a very large shed on a house in France which otherwise would have had an enormously wide door to get the ride-on mower out, but a very wide door is otherwise a serious inconvenience.
I did exactly this on the second shed I built. So helpful.
What local sawmill did you use?
Charltons for the cladding, usual merchants for the frame.
What is the purpose of leather membrane? This is my first time to see this, Philippines
When did you grow the beard ? I haven’t missed any episodes
you are starting to look like TheWoodedBeardsman ;)
82p per m for cedar, they must really like you
List price. 👌
Where from? I need some for a shed build too!

Random Q: What Oakley's are you wearing?
Could you do a run down on costs?
Will do once it’s done. 👍
Could I ask what nails you used? “ stainless ring shanks” a link would be good thank you.
50mm stainless ring, can't remember the brand, either bull dog or champion I think.
I thought Prince Harry was back from LaLa Land and had finally got a job in the building industry!
Perhaps a silly question but what is the structure/method with the bottom row of cladding to close the gap to keep rodents out?
Next video, I ended up doing concrete but lots of ways you could do it, whether board or mesh.
Why the time lapse
Try waxing the ends of boards to prevent future cracks, I’ve used surf board wax before, adverts killing theses vids
KZhead have now inserted mid video ads across all videos now since last weeks change up. I will turn off when possible though.
Okay. Dilf vibes.
“ You holding it ??” “ Yeah, there’s a lady bird!” And 28 dislikes ?????????????
Just a tip for future. You are supposed to put the nail at the top so when you put the new board on top it hides the nail. It also hopefully stops nails from getting rusty (i know you used stainless)
Not usually how you would do featheredge cladding like this. Nail needs to be just above the board below to clamp it tight with one per board. If you only did the top you would likely have gaps opening up below each board.
@@TheRestorationCouple thanks for that, I'm about to do a 20' x 8' with a central partition. I was wondering the same about the nails and can see why you'd do it the way you have. I'm thinking of going with vertical cladding instead of horizontal as it will save having to have a join due to the 20' length.
Is that Prince Harry?
Way way way to many adverts now Sorry had to subscribe Enjoyed it while it lasted
Blame KZhead. They changed things automatically last week. I will look to see what I can thin out. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple Tim that was going to be my gripe too. Glad you plan to do something about it. Good luck!
How weird. I’ve just watched it (in UK) and only 1 skip-able (Amazon) ad at the beginning - no others appeared so maybe it’s a geography or device issue (I watch on an LG TV using the inbuilt App).
Any video over 8 minutes will now default to mid video ads. I’ll try and turn off for first few weeks, that way it won’t affect subscribers.
Only had two quick ads only lasted a few seconds before I could skip them!!
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it, but why do you not nail the cladding boards on the upper part thus hiding all those ugly nails on display
They would tend to curl up as the timber dried. Once the nails are in and the rough sawn cedar aged you don’t really see them. Lots of cladding does lend itself to secret nailing though if you wanted a smooth finish.
