Cladding for a new shed build ?

I’m glad I’m not the only one

Not something I believe is used very often in the south of the country, do most older houses have the roof tiles visible from the loft space?

My last house was like that, if I left the loft light on the light would shine out through all the gaps in the tiles.
Definitely no danger of condensation in the roof space

My house doesn't have them. Just felt membrane, battens and tiles.

Daughters Victorian house has slate roof which is visible in the loft - no felt.

most older propertys that havent had there roofs redone will have lime cement in there roofs

the newer way is to use felt newer way is to use breathable felt but the old way was lime mortar

Larch is a very good wood choice for cladding, looks great when it weathers to a nice silvery grey colour, and its supposedly good for many years without the need to paint it!
