Description
22 x 125mm treated softwood loglap cladding for sheds, summerhouses, garden rooms, cabins, outdoor bar areas and other timber buildings. Loglap — also commonly searched as log lap cladding — has a rounded face that creates a traditional log-cabin style effect.
The boards are pressure treated for exterior use and are available in 3.6m, 4.2m, 4.5m and 4.8m lengths. The thicker profile gives Loglap a substantial feel, making it a popular choice where the appearance of the finished building is important.
Loglap cladding size, cover and lengths
- Nominal size: 22 x 125mm
- Finished size: approximately 19 x 120mm after machining
- Effective cover: 110mm per board
- Available lengths: 3.6m, 4.2m, 4.5m and 4.8m
- Pressure treated softwood for exterior applications
- Rounded log-cabin effect face
- Tongue & groove profile
For quantity calculations, use the 110mm effective cover rather than the full 120mm finished width. As a quick guide, approximately 9.1 linear metres of Loglap covers 1m² before allowing for cuts and waste.
Where is loglap timber cladding used?
Loglap timber cladding is commonly used on sheds, summerhouses, garden rooms, cabins, workshops, outdoor bars and higher-specification outbuildings. The rounded face creates a heavier log-effect appearance than flatter cladding profiles.
Why choose treated Loglap?
- Pressure treated for exterior use
- Traditional rounded log-cabin effect
- Thicker, sturdy profile
- Tongue & groove joint helps boards locate together during fitting
- Long lengths help reduce the number of joins
- Suitable for trade and DIY garden-building projects
Loglap or Shiplap?
The biggest difference is the finished appearance. Choose Loglap when you want the rounded log-cabin style and a thicker profile. If you are deciding between the two, read our Loglap vs Shiplap comparison. If you prefer a flatter, more budget-friendly finish, see our treated Shiplap cladding. For an alternative interlocking profile, see our treated tongue & groove cladding. You can also browse the full timber cladding range.
Installation notes
- Use suitable exterior-grade fixings
- Take care when fixing close to board edges
- Allow for natural timber movement during installation
- Provide appropriate ventilation behind exterior timber cladding
- Follow good detailing around corners, openings and the base of the wall so water can drain away
