Hi everyone
Just knocked up a shed at the back of a bungalow (6m x 2.3m, finally have the room to swing the cat, maybe even a hammer!!!) Bungalow has the cement/asbestos boards (laid like weatherboards) about 5mm thick about 400mm high. Will be using two old doors from our reno for an entrance so will need some cladding for the outside wall. Each side will be around 2000 high by 300 wide and also small space above the doors. I want to try and match what is on the bungalow but the cheapest way possible. Would need basically 300 x 300 squares so I can place them like weatherboards.
Would thin MDF stand up to it? Could I cut Blueboard or the like to that size easy enough?
Also pulling down our little tin shed so would cutting tin to this size be a go, doubt if tin could be painted to match?
Any ideas welcome, even if it is not to match existing boards but some other idea.
Cheers
