You said the name yourself ie tongue&groove cladding.

Just a quick point to OP... now you know what you're looking for, try a timber merchant. I DIY'd a shed, and found a local timber yard selling
16mm shiplap for around 1/2 price of what wickes were charging for (I think) 12mm, and the quality was a lot better than what I'd seen propped up in Wickes.(note: I'm not laying into Wickes here, but if you're buying a large quantity of timber, buy from a timber merchant - it's their stock-and-trade).

trouble is when you dont have one local and you ask for some wood for a shed on the phone it helps to know what its called :-). on a side note do wood yards still exist? all the ones my dad used have long since closed
lol if they did not exist where do suppose the sheds get their stock. :-)
most woodies around this neck of the woods(no pun intended) are on the dock road area. look in the yellow book.
out of a container from a ship?
Not found Reading dock yet I think the Kennet is a bit shallow for the container ships :-) not one wood yard or woodyard in the yellow pages I did find timber yards though
Stop it,me sides ache..
