1 in. x 6 in. x 4 ft. Barn Wood Gray Shiplap Spruce/Pine/Fir Board (6-Pack)

Grangor, Depending on your climate and arrangement of the area where you hope to use the shiplap as cladding, you might find that the shiplap is okay for some exterior options, but common sense should tell you that it is essential to get rid of moisture on your wood as quickly as possible because if allowed to stay wet for a prolonged period, you may end up damaging your shiplap. Will it be used on the ceiling of a porch that is on a protected side of the home, or will it be used in an area that has driving rain and loads of snow that accumulate against the product? These questions are for you to consider. For these reasons, we note that exterior applications require an exterior wood protector sealant.

Ed, We have Behr brand touch-up paint formulations for minor imperfections. Touch up stain (Glidden Diamond GLD7312 satin base - no tint needed) is intended for small areas only; i.e. cut ends or nail holes. Due to the proprietary coating process, exact color match is not guaranteed. The boards could be trimmed at the end to help with splintering.

KR, We believe that the charcoal color is a rich, deep color, but you could contact your preferred Home Depot location to request a sample, if you'd like to verify the depth of color.

Paul, Shiplap is recommended for interior applications, not exterior; however, if you do choose to use it in an area exposed to the elements, a wood sealant to protect the product is required. Best of luck with your project.

Dear Tony, Shiplap can be installed directly to an orange peel surface as long as the wall itself is even and in moderately good condition. Follow these standard installation instructions: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/29/292b44d4-6d4c-45f7-9754-04d6b52df90e.pdf

Mary, These boards can be used on walls within a bathroom. We recommend you seal the boards with a wood protector sealant to protect them from moisture. We do not, however, recommend using shiplap for your desired application.

Dear Joe, This shiplap is perfectly safe to install in your fireplace surround if you follow the correct safety codes. Every state varies with its code for fire safety and surround materials. You’ll have to check your local code requirements first, but always follow the National Fire Code and the National Standard Building Code when remodeling or designing your home interior. NATIONAL FIRE CODE : NFPA 211 This ordinance states that all combustible material (wood trim, framing, mantels etc.) must be at least 6 inches from the fireplace opening. For every 1/8 inch of protruding combustible material, an extra inch of clearance is required. NATIONAL STANDARD BUILDING CODE: 2114.3 MASONRY-BUILT FIREPLACES 4114.3.10 All combustible materials and trim must be at least 6 inches from the firebox opening. If more than 1 ½ inches (38mm) of material projects from the face of the fireplace, you will need additional clearance equal to the length of extension beyond 1 ½ inches. If above the fireplace there is more than 1 ½inches (38mm) of material projecting from the fireplace opening, you will need 12 inches of clearance from the top of the opening. For maximum security, consider using a noncombustible material in your fireplace surround before adding shiplap. Many people will use tile, marble, stone, brick, or steel as surround materials directly around the fireplace opening for their gas or wood-burning fireplaces. Hope you find this information helpful for designing your new surround.

Dear KateV, Each board does need to be install separately, but there should not be a large space between them. Here is a link to the installation instructions that might be helpful: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/29/292b44d4-6d4c-45f7-9754-04d6b52df90e.pdf. Best of luck on your project.

Dear RO12, It would be best for you to go into or contact your local Home Depot store as we do not have information regarding your location. Your store probably has a listing of area handymen (and women) that you might be interested in getting an estimate from for the job. Enjoy your new shiplap.

Robin, A box will cover 25.8 sq.feet. Nice-looking board. Best of luck on your project.
