Shiplap is a type of wooden board used commonly in the construction of barns, sheds, outbuildings and inexpensive or seasonal homes.It is either rough-sawn 1 or milled 3/4 pine or similarly inexpensive wood between 3 and 10 wide with a 3/8 - 1/2 rabbet on opposite sides of each end.The rabbet allows the boards to overlap in this area.hiplap is also used indoors for the rough or rustic look that it creates when used as paneling or a covering for a wall or ceiling. Shiplap is often used to describe any rabbeted siding material that overlaps in a similar fashion.
Assuming that 1 inch thick shiplap siding will be used, the number of board-feet required is the same as the area to be sided in square feet. A board-foot refers to the volume of a 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 inch piece of wood.ecause shiplap is almost always a natural wood product, care must be taken to protect the siding from the elements. Unless the siding has been specially treated before delivery, the wood may need to be sealed or painted and it may need to be re-sealed or re-painted every two to five years.
