Seamless Shiplap Cladding
Seamless Shiplap is our most professional finish for cladding
Shiplap cladding is smooth and leaves no gaps between each section of wood, covering the entire container. We also offer two alternative options for our cladding: Rustic Cladding and Clean Cut Cladding.

Cladding the container
We fix timber batons using 38mm long galvanised nails through the container wall and seal around to prevent leaks. The cladding is then nailed onto the batons. As a more expensive option we can weld 25mm x 25mm box section onto the container to create a frame in which to screw the cladding, please speak to our Sales team for additional costs.
