In this discussion, we will uncover the secrets and process involved in the manufacturing of vertical shiplap barn doors.

Vertical shiplap is a kind of wooden board used as siding in the construction of barns, sheds, and outbuildings. It is named 'vertical' because the shiplap boards are installed in a vertical orientation. This not only provides a unique visual aesthetic but also Offers many other benefits. It promotes better water runoff, making it more resilient against rough weather conditions.

Our manufacturing process starts with selecting the right kind of wood. Considering aesthetics, durability, and the working properties of the wood are crucial steps at this stage. Oak, pine, and cedar are the most commonly used materials because of their fine grain and structural stability.

After the wood choice is materialized, boards are cut into appropriate sizes according to the door design. They are then shaped into the distinctive 'rabbet' profile that characterizes shiplap. This grooving method allows each board to overlap with the next, ensuring a tight and efficient fit.

With the shiplap panels prepared and ready, the vertical orientation comes into play. The rabbet cuts on each board are aligned, creating a pleasing pattern of distinctive shadow lines. At this stage, the overall door structure starts taking shape.

To ensure the doors＊ longevity, the assembled pieces are treated with a sealant that provides a protective layer against the elements. Additionally, the doors are sanded to a smooth finish and can be painted or stained to the customer's preference. Our customized approach aims to satisfy the varying tastes and preferences of our clients, rendering each barn door a unique piece of functional art.
