That's quite common on Barns on Farms - they call it "Yorkshire Boarding" or "hit and miss" - 4" boards and 1" gap - surprisingly the rain doesn't come in - snow is another matter.

What is the tare on a L&B carriage? As I recall, no17 was 35'2" overall, which is tractorable, rather than lorryable over moderate distance, but GVW is a factor

The Southern Railway official weight of braked coaches was 9 0 (although one list has No 17 as 9 5) and non-braked coaches 8 16. Reproduced in the 1964 history.
