Hi,
I wander if anyone can help.
We have our tf up and bricked/blocked around. We've moved onto buying the cladding. We're having horizontal sawn weatherboard. We plan on leaving it untreated to silver naturally.

We've been offered sweet chestnut from a local sawmill at approximately 30 percent less than siberian larch.

Yes, we have sweet chestnut cladding that was treated with two coats of OSMO before installation, so it has not weathered too much in 5 years.
It's performed OK and we are still pleased with the choice.
