Quick ask. Having been thrown out of woodworking classes,50 odd years ago I have little knowledge of terms. So what is meant by "overlap", "shiplap." tongue and groove " when describing a wooden shed?
Ta.
tongue and groove is where length of timber fit to each other like jigsaw pieces creating one solid piece.
Overlap is where each length of timber is placed slightly over the edge of the other..like over hang..so that the water carry on running down instead of finding its way inside.
Shiplap..hm..not sure that but I should Imagine is something similar to overlap.
see here...looks like the shiplap is same as tongue and groove..I've learned something new too! :icon_cheers:
