Best way to rejuvenate flaked and weathered timber on ship lap
garden shed.

We cannot turn back the clock (viz. restore weight to outdoor timber
that has lost weight, reattach flakes that have detached, etc.) To
maintain functionality, the best bet may be to paint or spray with
fibreglass resin (as used to coat timber boats.)

Perhaps a naive question, but wouldn't soaking the timber restore
weight? Perhaps harder to do with vertical members, but would daily
spraying help?


No it will only hasten the decay, the surface needs to be cleaned and sealed
in some way to keep out water.
