DIY Garden Room Build with No Experience! Part 4 - Vertical Cedar Cladding 🤔
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2020
- I decided that my garden needs a garden room for use as a summerhouse, man-cave, maybe a games room. After a lot of research, I decided the pre-fabricated summerhouses just weren't going to cut it, and I didn't want to spend the serious money to have a company build one for me. Instead, I watched a few videos on TH-cam, scoured the internet for ideas, then broke out the tools. My aim is to have it ready for BBQ season 2020!
In this video: Fitting the vertical cedar cladding.
Music from Epidemic Sound: www.epidemicso...
nice tunes for once on a DIY vid makes me continue to watch lol, lovely job mate
Absolutely awesome job. Great to see you venting the cold roof with a simple system. I have installed something very similar. So many incorrect roof installs on TH-cam that won’t last five years because of poor ventilation.
Thanks! Yeah, you only have to watch one video by Steve the Roofer to have nightmares about mouldy roofs for a month, so better safe than sorry!
Builds looking Sweet 👍
Very impressive!! I wish I had the skill to do this.
Thanks! Ahh give it a bash, I’m only muddling through it!
Looks fabulous! Well done
Thank you, appreciate it!
the anticipation for part 5 is too much!
Just editing it now, so hopefully it’ll be on later tonight!
@@AlsDIYFollies congrats on the baby boy. I have my second boy due end of May so need to finish my build before then. Its been a bleak winter for building. Just cladding, electrics and internals to do for me and started in November
Yes!!! good man!!!
Thanks! Means a lot from the king of garden rooms!
LFM Visuals mate, I’ve only ever watched two you tubers all the way through! You and Freya Riding’s, enjoyed it, if you really have no experience, I’d employ you
11:13 Satisfaction, right there!
Bigtime relief!
Your building looks amazing, thanks for sharing! Cannot wait to see what you've done with doors and windows... When do you think you'll upload the next video please?
Thanks! I appreciate it! I’m just waiting on the doors and windows to be delivered so hopefully only a few weeks!
Yeah you can slot the last piece over the door no bother that seem to be what a lot of people do. great job. also yes you are better off with a 2mm gap dont butt them together its wood dont forget it will expand and contract.
Nice job man!! Gonna give this a whirl myself in the spring. But man oh man how frustrated is it not.to see this project completed 😳
Please upload the last video when you can pal.
Thanks!! Yeah, it’s taking longer than planned. I’d like to blame lockdowns, but it’s probably more just a question of a work/life/shed-building balance that favours the first two! I’ve been waiting for my bifolds for a while now, so as soon as they arrive, the next video will be up! Good luck with yours, it’s pretty fulfilling.
If that's shiplap cedar it should go horizontal and not vertical.
I can see its t&g and looks really good. Well done
Thanks, yes it’s shadow gap T&G. I think it looks nice vertical.
Brill!
Thanks for sharing. Finding it very useful as I progress through my own build. I’m trying to find the video where you talked about the metal roofing sheets for the unseen walls. Can’t seem to locate it. Wondering how you do the corner trim where the metal side meets the cedar?!
Cheers!
Thanks, glad to be of help!
For the corners, I had the cedar extend past the corner ever so slightly, so it is proud of the metal sheet and capped it with a right-angle profile corner trim. It doesn’t look super neat from the back side, but as it’ll only be seen from the cedar side, you can’t tell. I just made sure it was a flat (rather than corrugated) part of the metal sheet on the corner so it could be sealed up well. Hope that makes sense?
@@AlsDIYFollies brilliant. That’s v helpful. Thank you!
Skills 👍
It felt so satisfying seeing the last bit of cladding slotting in perfectly! Nice save!
I'm still awaiting my cladco order, but I posted a comment on another one of your videos, maybe it got missed re type of screws you used on that? In case you have the info at hand!
Well done!
Yeah that was a major moment of relief when that fit nicely! I thought I replied....I’ll have a look again for the link...
@@AlsDIYFollies Thank you!
I think my reply got lost in the ether...For the metal cladding, I used these...www.cladco.co.uk/22mm-stitcher-screws-with-a-w-bonded-washer , but I think I should have used these www.cladco.co.uk/65mm-screws-to-wood-with-baz-washer-pack-of-100 or similar. The ones I used were pretty secure into the OSB though, and 65mm does seem a little long maybe(?). And I got the plastic caps to cover the heads, so they should be pretty weatherproof all in all.
@@AlsDIYFollies Did you fit battens as well? Maybe that's where the extra depth of the 65mm would be useful. I'm not suggesting you take them down :)
Thanks a lot for the info!
I didn't use battens for the metal stuff in the end, I figured it was sturdy enough direct onto the boarding, and the corrugation would allow enough ventilation behind. Probably a little lazy on my part!
Thanks for sharing your build so far some great tips and it is looking great can’t wait to see the final build👍 Concerning the cedar did you go for the Canadian or British just out of interest ?
Thanks! I went with Canadian, as I think it is slightly more durable overall.
You will have to keep an eye on your cladding as you’ve terminated them too close to the ground….timber suppliers recommend 150mm for optimum longevity
nice job, cladding looks great. You may have mentioned it before but what are the dimensions of your build...Looks like a 3x3...
Thanks! Yes, it's just over 3x3 at the corners of the frame, so slightly bigger than that with the boarding and cladding on.
It looks very William Griffin esq (check out his channel on here)
Bonus footage at the end too 🤣
I’m far from being the shed ninja that Griffin is, but I’ve watched plenty of his videos for inspiration. And yes, fat-fingered editing error at the end, waiting for TH-cam to catch up with the updated version! 🤦♂️
I really like the look of your cladding and have also been considering Cedar Direct on my (no experience) garden room. Did you go with the British or Canadian Cedar?
Thanks! I’d definitely recommend cedar, I went with the Canadian, as it’s supposed to be more durable. I think it was more expensive though.
Great video. Will you always use battens before cladding or is it optional? What purpose does it serve?
Thanks! I would always use battens personally. They serve to allow airflow behind the cladding to prevent moisture getting trapped and rot setting in. I’ve used double battens for this, as I think that is what is recommended for vertical cladding (as opposed to singles for horizontal), although you could probably get away with only single battens maybe.
Did you not need the cedar to weather 12 weeks before applying oil to let resin wash out . How does it looks now ?
I didn’t, I’d not heard of that. They sat and acclimatised for a few weeks while I was doing other things. They’ve held up pretty well, maybe one or two of the lighter coloured boards have started to show very faint signs of weathering, but the rest still look as good as new.
Have you insulated the inside and if so did you put another vapour barrier over it? Only asked as am currently doing one and there's mixed reviews on it. I've insulated mine and am going to plaster board it but not sure about the other barrier as I think it will course moisture if I put another barrier in
I’m going to insulate it once I’ve got the windows and doors in over the coming month or so. I’m thinking 50-80mm of insulation in the walls should do it, and plasterboard on the interior. I’m not 100% decided on a vapour barrier yet as there seems to be conflicting advice. I’ll have a couple of small vents under the floor, and the roof is ventilated above the level of the insulation to prevent moisture gathering on the underside, so I’m not sure I’ll need a barrier. It seems like trapping moisture into an otherwise semi-breathable structure is a bad idea? I’ll be interested to hear what you decide on, sounds like you are a step ahead of me.
Looks great, what shape pieces did you use on the corners to finish them?
Thanks! I used cedar corner trim pieces, just right angle strips to cover the edges.
How much is your budget and how much you spend till now? Good luck with your rest of the project its already looking good.
Thanks! So far I reckon I’ve spent around £2500- £3000, and should have it finished around £6500 -£7000, but a big chunk of the outstanding cost is going to be the bifold doors for the front. The biggest single cost so far has been the cladding at around £900.
Thank you for your reply I’m planning to build a art studio, I have to get the power tools and materials so it’s a bit of overwhelming at the moment.
Looking back, probably the only power tools that have proved essential for me are a circular saw, and a drill/driver. It would be a lot easier with a fully equipped workshop, but you can just chip away at each stage one at a time, and get tools as you go along. If I could change one thing about my build, it would be to have spent more time on the design and on planning ahead. Good luck with your build!
@@AlsDIYFollies cladding for 900 is a really good as that is a big cost on these type of builds from what I've seen. It's looks v smart. Well done mate.
I think if you paid someone to do this is 1250m2 so you would be looking at 10 grand for this to be done for you
Great job.
I have a question, is vertical tongue and groove still waterproof? Same as horizontal?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
Yes it should be, the tongue & groove is quite tight fitting. I suppose the cladding is not 100% waterproof by itself, but with the Tyvek wrap on the wall boards and the air gap to allow ventilation between, the whole system is. The cladding just lets rain run off vertically, so even if a bit gets through a little crack, it shouldn’t soak into the cedar and will just run off the back side without reaching the structural part of the wall.
Do you double lat the shed walls to allow airflow??
Between the walls and the cladding, yes. I’ve seen quite a few builds where they only single batten it, but the advice seemed generally to be to double it for vertical cladding.
How much did the build cost if you don't mind me asking
So far I reckon I’ve spent around £2500- £3000, and should have it finished around £6500 -£7000, but a big chunk of the outstanding cost is going to be the bifold doors for the front.
@@AlsDIYFollies can I please ask you where you got all the materials from? Cladding? Windows and doors? Timber ext...
I got the metal cladding from Cladco.co.uk, and the cedar cladding from cedardirect.co.uk. I haven’t quite decided on exactly where I’m getting the windows and doors from just yet.
