    Hi guys,

    Currently putting up a 3 bay lean to shed, so on looking at cladding options at the minute, so I have 2 questions 😁😁

    Looking for the best place for quality and price of cladding.

    And is 0.5mm good enough or should I get 0.6mm

    It's only going to be for turf and workshop kind of thing.

    Any help appreciated

    There's a big difference between 0.5 & 0.6.
    The 0.5 is very flimsy & likely to rust thru easily.
    Personally, i would go for 06 ( coated is much better than the galvanised sheeting )

    Also consider non drip sheets if you're storing tools/ workshop its more expensive but well worth it i regret not doing it myself

    Would also agree with. 6 over. 5 coated is the way to go

    The plastic coated sheeting is worth the extra cost, in my opinion.
    I put up a shed in 1996 and used green coated box profile, it's the very same today as when it went up.
    No painting ever.
