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.

Specifications:

Pine, treated and planed

Wood width - 130mm

Recommended Paint colour (for top and bottom rail): RAL8008 Olive Brown

Additional costs apply to the following:

Painting

Cladding around doors and windows

Sloping Roof

High cube containers

Attaching cladding using welded box section frame instead of nails and batons
