Something you might want to think about is the joins between the sheets... Personally I like mixing the joins up like TG&V BUT that is just my personal preference.

For what it's worth, T111 is heavy and awkward and I'd suspect the roughness would make it a hassle to keep cobweb free. I did something similar with very thin (5 mm) utility panels that were awkward but not heavy and was very happy with the results. But if you like the look, have at it! That's the whole beauty of building your own cabin.

VC_fan,
Thanks, yeah I was already wondering on its weight, the roughness I do like though if I were to use them I would stain and poly coat them for easy cleaning later.
A sort or wainscotting panelling would also look good , is this the type of 5mm paneling you are referring to ?

I've seen thinner (3/8 ?) at times. Also if cut into 4x4 ft squares it is easier to handle. Then nail 1x battens over the seams.

I seem to remember a warning label on T111 about not for indoor use. You may want to double check that.

perhaps thats the presssure treated or specially treated t1111
The panels ive been looking at dont appear to have anything special done to them.
Thank you for the heads up though I will be sure to ask the location about that if I decide to use them.

The stuff I'm referring to was about $10/sheet at Lowe's and called a "utility panel". It's interior-only and has very pretty grain on one side. I did the walls and the ceiling with it, and trimmed it with 1x2 or 1x3 furring strips as someone else suggested. I put on just one coat of poly on the first floor walls - didn't want to change the look too much. Next time I'm at the shack I'll take a couple of pictures.

T1-11 is heavy, but it also comes in 3/8" think. I know, I used it on the underside of my covered porch. I used the no groove stuff. Light enough to work with easily. AS little pricey. The stuff I used was not strand board, it was plywood laminate. I think the grooved stuff would look great on the ceiling.

The main thing I would be concerned about is the 4' seem line, I was in the same boat and decided to go with pine T&G the cost was ~$0.85 SF not much more than what your looking at with the T111.

It works great, I've done it for years, with the 5/8'' thick. It's solid and paints up real nice.

I finally got over to the shack, remembered to take a picture of the ceiling, AND remembered to post it. I talked about this someplace else ... unlike everybody else's cabin, ours isn't perfectly square, plumb, or anything else. I weighed the option of trimming each sheet to fall over the rafters, etc, etc, etc, and decided that if the stuff was only 5 mm thick I should just be able to overlap the sheets. Unless you're in the loft staring right at it, you'd never notice that I've taken this major shortcut. I'm happy with the result and would do it again. FYI, rafters are 2x6 with the standard insulation for 2x4 construction. Some of this has been stapled, some is just friction fit in place, and some is held by the thin plywood. There may be some minor bulging here and there but for a cabin/shack it works just fine. Before somebody points it out, I guess it's not up to code since it doesn't have the drywall as a fire barrier.

I used it on my ceiling too! I do remember using a stiff bristle broom to brush it off first before I put it up because it had alot of rough particles stuck to it. Sorry...I will get a pic this weekend and post next week...it has been up for 15 yrs now and has aged just like pine to a gloden color...I did not use any stain or clear coat at all.

Sustainusfarm, the sub-floor of T-1-11 left exposed as ceiling looks great, better than plain plywood! Will you be staining or painting it? I hope that you don't cover it.

We wanted to the same look. So we just installed 2x6 TG pine boards. It is the flooring for upstairs and ceiling down below (joists exposed). Two birds type of deal.

I see you didnt use the 92 5/8" studs on the wall, but the full 96".
As for the ceiling, it looks good, almost dont want to cover it up with insulation.
