    Has anyone built one?

    What are the pros and cons versus shiplap construction?

    I've never heard of one.Would they not absorb moisture and warp?

    Yeah - but there is exterior plywood. Can't see why it could not be used.

    Yes, shuttering plywood. I'd imagine it's probably unwieldy and heavy as well as being more expensive than the soft wood used in shiplap, also involves better carpentry skills as the margin for error in making cuts would be small. Otherwise, as a material, I can't see why not.

    With cheap ply the glue will deteriorate , decent marine ply costs E60 a sheet. Do the maths as they say😃😃
