Siberian Larch Corner Posts

[Andrew]

We are having Siberian Larch cladding over most of our timber frame house and we want a corner post detail similar to this :-

 

 

 

Ideally, the corner post needs to be flush with the cladding, or protrude slightly. The battens we are using are 47mm and the cladding is 21mm thick, so really we need a corner post around 70mm square. I've been looking everywhere (including the supplier of the cladding) for a 70-75mm Siberian Larch corner post but haven't been able to find anything (most seem to expect a 20mm batten so have a 44mm x 44mm corner post).

 

Anybody know of any suppliers who might be able to do a 75mm square Siberian Larch post?

Take the battens out over each other or use a double batten then get the joiner to notch out a 44x44 by 20mm on the inside edge with a table saw. Will leave you an L Angle that will cover the corner batten then butt the cladding up to it.

As peter said

this is exactly what I’m doing but in cedar, I’m going to pack on top of the batten to bring the corner out, any bigger than 45x45 is hard to find and a bit unwieldy.

Thanks @PeterW and @Russell griffiths, spoke to the chippies today and they are going to pack it out so we can use the 44mm corner posts.

 

I did find someone who could supply 95mm x 95mm Siberian larch, which were sold as fence posts ?
