Premium Tongue & Groove Cladding: Superior Strength for Sheds & Exterior
Discover the ultimate cladding solution with our premium tongue and groove cladding. Engineered for superior strength and weather resistance, our tongue and groove boards create a seamless, gap-free finish perfect for sheds, garden buildings, and exterior walls. As a family-run business with over 30 years’ experience, First Choice Fencing supplies high-quality, FSC/PEFC certified timber that’s built to last.
Why Choose Tongue & Groove Cladding?
Tongue and groove cladding represents the premium choice for outdoor construction projects. Our expertly manufactured boards offer significant advantages over standard cladding options:
Exceptional Strength & Durability: The interlocking tongue and groove system creates the strongest possible joint, making it ideal for larger sheds and substantial garden buildings that need to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Superior Weather Protection: The seamless fit eliminates gaps, providing excellent insulation and preventing moisture penetration. This makes T&G cladding virtually waterproof and highly resistant to rot and decay.
Versatile Installation: Unlike shiplap, tongue and groove can be installed both horizontally and vertically, offering greater design flexibility for your project.
Professional Finish: The interlocking design creates smooth, flat walls with an attractive appearance that enhances any garden structure.

Tongue & Groove Cladding vs Shiplap Cladding: Which is Better?
Understanding the key differences helps you make the right choice for your project:
| Feature | Tongue & Groove | Shiplap |
| Strength | Strongest cladding option with interlocking joints | Good strength but less robust than T&G |
| Weather Resistance | Excellent – creates watertight seal | Good with overlapping design |
| Installation | Can be fitted horizontally or vertically | Typically horizontal installation only |
| Appearance | Smooth, seamless finish with optional V-groove detail | Rustic look with visible shadow lines |
| Maintenance | Easier to clean – no dirt build-up in gaps | Shadow lines can collect dirt |
| Longevity | Superior long-term durability | Good lifespan with proper maintenance |
Key Advantage: Tongue and groove’s interlocking design makes it the strongest and most weather-resistant option, particularly valuable for exterior applications where maximum durability is essential.
Perfect for British Weather Conditions
Our tongue and groove cladding is specifically selected for the UK’s challenging climate. The pressure-treated timber resists rot, decay, and insect damage, while the interlocking joint system prevents moisture penetration even during prolonged wet periods.
