Timber to Repair Garden Shed

Hocus Focus

Hi, I have an old shed, actually a dog shed, which I now want to use for storing firewood. Due to neglect and the fact that some materials were packed between it and a wall, the outer cladding is in bad repair in places.
I have moved it to a new location and wish to repair it.
I have been searching online for rough untreated timber 5" x1/4" (125mm x 6mm), with no success.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a few lengths of this, in the Dublin/Meath/Louth area, or anywhere in Ireland?

You could try timbertrove in rathfarnham. They make sheds.

I saw their ad but I didn't think they were in thre business of selling timber. I'll try giving them a ring and see if they'll sell me a few lengths.

You'd want treated rather than untreated timber for a shed since exposed to the elements constantly. Also 6mm is very thin and flimsy for a board so you're probably limited to a sheet of plywood if limited to that thickness. Alternatively you could get a fence panel and dismantle it to use the boards 7mm:

Garden sheds are normally fabricated from shiplap which is 18mm in thickness:

Your suggestion of using the components of a fence panel to match in with the existing cladding seemed like a good idea until I realised that the panel is only 1.8m wide while the shed is 3.07m long. I think I,ll go with the shiplap from Goodwin's if Timbertrove, as suggested above don't have what I'm looking for. It's a more expensive solution but will be a better job in the end.

B&Q stock something fairly close to what you are looking for. They have it in the liffey valley and swords branches
