Boarding up my summer house
Options

Hi all,
I have what may be called a "summer house" in the garden. There is a big opening in the front and the rest of the walls only go up half way. I never use it as inside is just a bit dingy and there are spiders everywhere as it's exposed to the elements. I am going to board it up and turn in into an inside building but I wanted some suggestions other than the standard plywood.

I'd recommend a combination of Gruyère and the paintings of Rembrandt. Though you could probably do it on half that with Chedder and Rubens."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0

dual wall polycab sheet, by has a life of 10 years
Some second hand double glasing of ebay
second hand conservitory from ebay
If it is dark and dingy and a spiders nest now, walls will provably not help you0 -
Clear PVC tarpaulin would be a cheap option0

Have you looked at feather edge fencing boards that have been pre treated? It may be cheaper to buy fence panels and take them apart if you can get them delivered for free.
Next door to me they bought a shed back to life by cladding the outside with fence panels.0
