Another amazing progress vid Des. I watch a lot of DIY vids on KZfaq but yours is the most relaxing, nature documentary feeling vids out there! So peaceful to watch haha

I've had limited access to KZfaq for a while but have throughly enjoyed catching up on this series great work des

I thought the idea of using featheredge board was to leave no visible nail heads which can also be an area for the ingress of water, and hence future rot.

great video, cheers! just have to say that you have a very calm and soothing voice :)

Great Vid. I had to rent a nail gun - as my hands and arms were so sore. Great inspiration and relaxing video.

those cladding finish the cave man nicely des looking forward to see the end product.

Nice video. To get all the boards at the same angle, you cut the top off a board, the width of the overlap, and pin this to the bottom. This then kicks out the bottom board to the same degree as all the others. Another thing that effects the look, although subtle, there is s front and back to the boards. If you look carefully at the end of a board, one of the angles is 90 degrees and tbe other something like 80. Another tip, the nail, as you say shouldn't pierce the top of the underlying board but it should be close otherwise the board tends to cup inwards as the nailed board is unsupported at this point. If your doing a large area, your method for spacing will produce cumulative errors. Best to check dimensions either end and middle from bottom board or else you could run out an inch or so.

Great video ....thank you 👏

Any sizeable gaps at the top I used expanding foam on my shed, then cut it back and caulked over it. Works a treat!

Good video cheers 👍

Really good effort! When im cladding with featheredge i use a paslode 2nd fix finish nailer with 16 gauge nails. Gives a much better finish rather than having the heads of the nails on show. 🙂

Hi, been enjoying your vidéos and the Great advice they contain. Thinking if buying à nail gun for my cladding and looking for advice if I may? Framing nail guns like the milwaukee M18FFN look a bit like brutes. Are they too powerful and damaging to the wood for the job I want and should I look fir a Brad nailer instead like the M18FN16GA ? any advice gratefully received. Thank you

Hi Des, I'm building one and am near this stage. I'm using currgated bitumen sheets to cover the three walls which are out of view and I'll be using featherboard cladding on the front. My question is, do I need to use battens even on the walls with the corrugated sheets - or can I screw the sheets directly onto the OSB? there will be planty of air flow due to the shape of the sheets... I will be using battens on the front wall of course. Looking forward to your response.

if you did it again would you put on your 2x2 end stops first? I have windows to go around too just figuring out the best way of doing things.

Hi 21st CC, really enjoyable video. I am building a garden shelter (basically and open ended shed on my decking) I wanted a rustic look, do you think it would be possible to use feather board for the roof (its a steep roof). Thank you

I’m looking at battery only operated nail guns but still a bit pricey, I don’t think I will need one very often for my sort of work so don’t need the best , have you looked at them at all ? Thanks des

Hi why do you need batons on the outside. Can you put the cladding on house wrap?

I am building a similar sort of cladding with the damp proof membrane however I’m not putting runners on for the cladding to sit on, it’s sitting directly on top of it, will this cause problems?

Once you had levelled and fixed the first board and used your jig to marke either end the position of the next board.....why did you need to use the level again? Surely with the jig it allows you to just tack on subsequent boards confident they're level...

Hi, do you have a list of lumber and other items and QTY's you used to make this man cave. Can then use that to get a rough idea of current cost.Thanks

what do you do about the corners where the feather-board meets each other? did you use some sort of trim

Did you take the original vid off, Des? It is on my notifications, but the page is empty.

Can please tell me how did you managed to put cladding on side of the shed there's hardly any space between the fence and the shed.

What size nails would you recommend to use to attach the feather edge please? Thanks

Did you put cladding at the back of the shed? Because I didn't see it.

My ocd couldn’t cope with the inconsistency in nail placement 😂

Just started watching this and really gave me some good ideas , but I was wondering why is it necessary to baton and not just nail feather edge straight into the OSB

With feather edging isn't it wise to hide your nails with the overlap?

What overlap did you have on your boards please?

Hindsight is a marvellous thing but would it have been easier to box in the eves under your overhang then butt your feather edge against it ? Would certainly have saved you a lot of time & intricate cut outs.

Hello great video, doing my own shed currently and have followed your way with cladding battons and membrane but to save on cost i wasn't planning on having any internal wall coverage, so the membrane is visible from inside, is this ok or is it effective it's purpose ect am clueless can't seem to dind anyone who has left it like this so makes me think there's a reason

What governs the overlap??

Nice Vid ,could i be rude and ask total cost

Clouts will split boards close to the edge.....i would have drilled them first.

You should hide the nails.

Would look so much better hiding the nails.

Those nails really spoil the look of the cladding. Had you nailed each one higher up, the board above would have covered it...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

wery slow my friend, very slow all !!

You should be using imperial measurements.
