That is interesting cladding. It looks like it will work well and you said it was cheap. In the winter, the sun may help heat the workshop with the black color. Thanks Matt!
Thank you David
Good idea using that material for the sides. I used similar stuff as the roofing of a shed i built. its cost effective and works well. When i installed I was able to get color matched screws with rubber washers on them. I am sure the caps on your screws should work in a similar manner.
Thanks for sharing Matt, I love watching this process, it's so interesting.
Matt I love the work and am so pleased to see that the Badger is finally getting his workshop back. I wonder if you are underselling this project though when you are just giving the same length of you tube time to putting on the siding as to making a Christmas trinket. I am sure that many of us are very interested in the decision making processes and all the rights and wrongs. I remember Ali Dymock’s series which was fascinating on this front and I am sure your workshop would be just as much if not more so as you are just very practical. Why choose the screws in the hips rather than the valleys? Why tar corrugated if just cost? How much less expensive than wooden cladding? You have obviously done the maths! How are you planning to integrate the solar charging? Any heating in your plan? I put a small wood burner in mine but still not sure it complies. anyway would love to visit and you are welcome to mine any time. Alex of Rutland.
It's really looking good, Matt! Excellent work! 😃
Looking forward to the next steps!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much
That is a super fast way of cladding! I like the industrial look it creates too :)
Yes so do I
Great choice! Even if u just chose it for the cost, it certainly looks great too! Thanks for sharing - looking forward to the next!
Thank you. I’m pleased with how it turned out
5:07 great video always enjoy watching them love the way you are building the shed/workshop it’s giving me ideas on how to build my one and it’s a shame you could not just pick up your old one you built for the last house and use that I loved that one
Love the cladding choice.
Excellent idea to use these sheets! Wish I'd thought of that but spent a bomb on featheredge!!!
It was definitely a cheap option
@@Badgerworkshop Can I ask where you got the sheets? I can't find anything more than 2m lengths
It's really coming on. Great work and editing.
Thank you
I used those sheets on the (very not visible) back and side of a shed about 7 years ago.
They were very easy to use, and as far as I am aware they are still doing the job perfectly well to this day.
That’s good to know
I like that cladding choice mate. I know it was to save a bit if money but looks quite contemporary. Nice.👍
Thank you. It was cheap and I like the look so win win
Yeah not the US where people seem to have enough scraps ‘lying around the shop’ to clad the build
That looks really great and I love the "measuring stick".
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much!
Love the look of the cladding 👍
Thank you
Shed is looking good Matt
Thank you
Curious to see how you did the corners. Interesting looking material.
Thanks for the insights
I could bend the sheets around the corners and overlap them
the stick trick is a one to remember! also the viewer's comment concerning elaborating on choices makes sense, longer videos more for us to watch and learn, also decisionmaking etc...
Won't you get water ingress on the end corrugated sheet because there is no overlap of the roof fascia?
Looking good
Thank you
Nice to see you using bitumen sheeting, its my choice of cladding too for my future workshop (recommended to me by some architects who also used it), certainly cheaper than wood!
Yes much cheaper
@@Badgerworkshop I was shocked by the price of the garden room, but you went all out on the detailing with that, are you going to do a price breakdown for this once its done?
👍👍👍 Looks great thanks.
Thank you
It's looking good
Thank you
Fair comment mate, you come up with some cracking ideas.
Thank you Pete
That's a great look Matt. I'd be interested in a follow up at the end of the summer to see if you notice any movement against the screws/caps
Thank you
Hi Matt, I've only ever used these sheets as roofing, but it looks good as cladding and as you say is a relatively inexpensive and easy to fit option !
Seems the cheapest option
Nice job !! Looks Great 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you
Nice work Matt.
Thank you John
I would think that the screws should be set in the valleys of the sheets to avoid denting.
Water runs in valleys so screws go on peaks.
@@Badgerworkshop only when it's flat on a roof !
@David Hull unless the siding is absolutely perfect for plumb and water never contacts the valleys from rain where the water can stay on top of the peak all the way down, it will still go to the valleys. Your theory only works in an ideal fantasy world. In reality, it will always migrate to the valleys.
I had the same thought when I saw the video. Thanks for asking and thanks for the responses. Makes sense. I learned something!
I would of thought you were right been on the side. Having screws half sunk into wood. If you knock some timber into it them screws are shearing off or enlarging the hole's or worse splitting the wood underneath. But it's up to him, I'd of probably dipped them in PVA or silicone first them rubber grommets only work when there tight up against something hard. Anyway horse's for courses 😅
It looks really good Matt!! Where did you get the cladding from?
Loving these sheets. Think I’ll do the same when I start my workshop next month. May I ask where you got these sheets from?
Tidy work, I really like the corrugated cladding. I just have to figure out how to persuade the wife to go for it on my planned shed 🤣
I hope you can win her over to the idea
I haven't thought about that low cost cladding before. Could it also be used as a temporary solution if you wanted to upgrade it later to say a metal cladding?
It could be but seems a bit of a waste.
Cost inflation is bad. I went with featheredge for mine (as significantly cheaper than western red cedar), but looking at costs now I can see that even the old featheredge option is now surprisingly dear!
Really enjoying watching this series of videos and looking forward to you having a proper workshop again! When using those sheets for cladding, what do you do at the corner joints, to keep them water-tight? Cheers 👍🏻
I was wondering the same thing!
@@mpdnuk Me too
They bend around the corner and overlap the other sheet
@@Badgerworkshop That sounds great! Thanks for the info.
Hi Matt, why are you screwing into the peaks and not the valleys?
The holes are less prone to leakage screwing into peaks. Any leaks they might have are further away from substrate 👍
Did my shed but with small ones saved £1500 shed 22ft x 10ft also did roof
That’s a big saving
Are you not worried about the security aspect of using that style of cladding if I can be cut easily with a hand saw. Although I assuming you’ll be putting panelling on the inside after you insulated it. Love the videos keep up the good work
I’m not worried
Good job how did you trim them a round the windows
Thank you. Just cut with the jigsaw
Matt, Very clever mate. It makes good sense to use that material. Should have insulation benefits as well I would think. Onya Matt !
Thank you Brian
Hi Matt,
Where can i buy this cladding?
Thx
I used bitumen sheets on our hen run - too many arrived broken and they are prone to sag in hot weather. Would spend the extra money on wriggly steel in future.
That’s a shame
@@Badgerworkshop well, it’ll give me something to do once I’ve finished painting the Forth Bridge. Should be fine on the walls and it does look good - nice job.
Were did you get the cladding from
I'm surprised you always use a drill driver over an impact driver. Any particular reason?
What about the corners?
That cladding looks really good… I think I might have just changed the design of workshop I’m due to start building next month. Cheers.
Thank you
Hi,
If these are only 2m,
What height are you ending up with inside the workshop ?
Could you still fit a standard upvc door in.thx
I dont think so. I’m making a door
link for the cladding plz
Well done, great economy.
Thank you
Did you just bend the sheets round the corners?
Yes that’s exactly it
Great job, but isn't it a problem that mice or rats get into the ventilation gap?
Where did you get the sheets from?
Hi what length are these ?
The majority I can find are all 2m long which isn’t long enough.thx
These are 2m
Looking good. I was a bit dubious when you introduced the bitumen sheets, but they look great and should be very effective.
Thank you Mike
At first I had my doubts about your choice of cladding, but seeing it on the building made me change my mind: it looks pretty good! Maybe I'd have painted the window frames white, as a contrast.
Thank you
Hi Matt
I might have missed this being asked, are you not concerned about insects and rodents coming up the inside of the peaks at the bottom edge? Just don't want to see all the hard work get spoilt
I would be worried about someone just removing the side panel and breaking in and stealing all the tools. When I built my workshop during covid I just shelled out for feather edge boards. Not nice to have to pay the price but well worth it in my opinion.
