Consider the traditional overlap finish

Overlap cladding gives wooden sheds a familiar, slightly rustic wall profile, alongside apex and pent roof styles. Long-side doors feature on some buildings, making those layouts easier to access. Work out the wall space and headroom you need, then prepare a level base before choosing the finish. For a direct look at the alternatives, read the cladding options guide.
