Ship Lap Siding is a type of Drop Lap siding with tight joints similar to tongue and groove, but it laps over (1/2" depth of rabbet). Our Ship-lap siding is kiln dried and can be installed horizontally or vertically with the edge of one board having a recessed area along its rear which receives the shaped top-rear edge of the board next to or below it, so as to exclude water during rainfall. In vertical applications, bevel cut the ends and install the shiplap siding so water is directed to the outside. Ship lap siding is similar to clapboard but is more attractive, secure and watertight.

Shiplap is known for its strength as a supporting member, and its ability to form a relatively tight seal when lapped. Ship-lap is often used as siding for buildings that do not require extensive maintenance or must withstand cold and aggressive climates. For post and beam construction, rough-sawn shiplap is attached vertically usually with 6d-8d common nails. Our milled ship lap siding shows a smooth surface and is more suited to two-by frame construction, provides a tighter seal and is usually placed horizontally. Ship lap siding installs with a minimal amount of effort and material wastage.

Ship-Lap Siding Coverage - 1/2" Lap

Ship-Lap siding and wood paneling is sold by the linear (or lineal) foot. Your quantity requirements are calculated by multiplying the square foot area by a factor based on the siding width.

Example: If you are siding four walls 8 feet high by 40 feet long with 1x8" ShipLap paneling and we allow 10% of the total square feet for openings, you would need approximately 2300 linear feet:

4 * 8 * 40 = 1280 SQ FT - 128 (10% openings) + 115 (10% trim/waste) = 1267 SQ FT * 1.78 linear factor = 2278.4 LFT
