What is NEW BARNWOOD™ Shiplap?
Shiplap is a term used to describe a type of wooden board that has traditionally been used as walls and ceilings in the construction of sheds, barns, and other rustic type buildings. A traditional shiplap has a groove cut into the top and bottom of each board along the length of the board.

Shiplap profile the boards to fit together forming a solid surface area, and provides a distinctive appearance, with subtle horizontal reveals (often referred to as a nickel-gap) along the long connecting edge of each board.
