Douglas Fir Cladding

Douglas Fir is a strong, characterful softwood cladding with a warm reddish-brown tone and a bold, prominent grain. It's a popular value choice for homes, outbuildings and architectural features - available in larger board sizes than many cladding timbers, and PEFC-certified. We supply Douglas Fir cladding direct in tongue & groove, shiplap and Yorkshire boarding profiles, with fast UK delivery.

Our Douglas Fir cladding range

Why choose Douglas Fir cladding?

Characterful — a warm reddish-brown colour and striking grain that brings real character to an elevation.
Strong & versatile— naturally strong, available in larger sections, suited to cladding, outbuildings and feature walls.
Value — an affordable, attractive softwood cladding.
Sustainable — PEFC-certified from responsibly managed forests.

How Douglas Fir weathers & finishing

Douglas Fir is dense and high in natural resin, which makes it difficult to treat — many people choose to let it weather naturally to a classic silver-grey, which gives a timeless, traditional look. If you'd rather hold its warm reddish-brown colour, a suitable UV-protection oil can be applied, though it benefits from good surface preparation given the resin content. Left to silver, it needs very little maintenance.

Profiles & fixing

We stock Douglas Fir in tongue & groove (TGV), shiplap and Yorkshire boarding (hit-and-miss) profiles, for horizontal or vertical fixing. Fix with stainless steel on battens with a ventilation gap behind; matched stainless fixing available.
