shed roof & floor... OSB vs. tongue & groove
By Peaches

I need to buy a shed this week before prices go up. Which would be better:
8 x 6 11mm shiplap with OSB roof & floor
8 x 6 12mm shiplap with T&G roof and floor
Any advice much appreciated as I've never had a shed with OSB before.

If you put it on a concrete base and treat it as recommended it should last for years. I would shop around though there are variations in prices.

We have a couple of places selling sheds near us and the sheds are all erected so you can really see what you are paying for.

Sorry, I wasn't clear: I actually wanted to know if you had any views on the roof & floor material - tongue & groove vs. OSB (Oriented Strand Board, all one sheet)
And this isn't a rush purchase, just a last-minute dither between the two front-runners... I've been shopping around since November, I don't think I can face looking at any more sheds!

the sturdier one realy 12mm sounds better than 11mm but without seeing them its hard to choose. trouble is a lot of these items are built cheep and nasty on purpous . its a pitty you cant build your own. have you got any neighbers with sheds you can ask maybe ?
