FAO French Speakers

[Solitaire]

Could any of the French speakers tell me the correct translation for feather edge or ship lap planks of wood.

I've asked on a French forum but nobody has replied.

navire tour des planches de bois (apparently)

French/English Translation

[Solitaire]

Thanks TS, is that for ship lap or feather edge

[Two_Sheds]

Ship lap
,

If you can give me a link to something on an English site that shows what it is, I will give you the translation. Sorry, but I dont actually know what that is in English, so would need a picture to assist.

Further to my last, just spoke to a chippy chappy here, and, apparently, you cant get ship lap here. I wouldnt hold that as gospel, as I have heard you cant get all sorts here and have found it. A mate of mine is a menusier, will ring him tomorrow and explain, if I can get a picture of the stuff.

[Solitaire]

Fence panels are often made with ship lap or feather edge
I want to make this chicken coop

[bobleponge]

Will give an answer tomorrow.

Solitaire, not only could I not give you the French translation, I didn't even know what it meant in English.

Thanks for the explanatory pic - the hen house looks great, best of luck with it.

Bumping this for Solitare

[Nicos]

Sorry- can't help you...but will ask if I meet up with someone who might know.

Sorry Solitare, Never seen it and I LOVE rummaging round builders yards. I use Lambris to build my chicken houses. Just the cheap stuff from Brico Depot, if you have one. Works a treat and looks good with a coat or 6 of dark wood preservative.

[Solitaire]

That's a great idea roitelet hadn't thought of lambris, I'll have a look round my Bricomarche

Solitaire, sorry for my tardy reply, been at work all day.
Spoke to the menuisier chappy today (bank holiday yesterday, and he doesnt really know what it is. Once I saw the piccy I understood, but I tried to explain it to him and he couldnt help. He uses bastang for all fencing etc, which isnt a help at all.
It wasnt a question of my French not being adequate (although it painfully isnt) as I had printed off your picture, and also drew several diagrams, he just doesnt know what the stuff is.
Again, sorry for my late reply and sorry for not being able to help.
