I’m finally starting to build a studio/office in the garden A salvage yard not far from me has a significant quantity of ekki planks. 100mm x 10mm x 3000mm.

All I can really read about it is that it’s really hard, really heavy, hard to work with and very weather/water resistant.

Is it a stupid idea use it as cladding? Price works out about £21/sqm

You might have to give them a thump to secure in place

Would you like your coat?

Your office will last forever, its used to make lock gates

if it wasn’t such a good price, i wouldn’t really be considering it.
