Hi, I have a lot of gaps in my shed sides, what can I use to fill them please? I had to use pollyfiller as a temp solution, but I'm looking for something permanent. Shed is only 4 years old, thank you

Wood filler. If it was for my own shed you could line the inside with plywood or even go over the joints with another strip of wood

@doroteya thanks I think I'll get wood filler, as I need it for in the house too where cracks have appeared from the house settling

Caulking. Can get it in brown colour so no need to paint. If you use silicon you wont be able to paint over it very easily

Mines the same. I used a few pieces of wood inside the shed screwed in from The outside. It’ll stop the Bowing with temperature changes. Then I used a silicone sealant (solvent based, not water based) to fill the gaps.
