What to Cover a Storage Shed With – Metal, Vinyl, Or Wood?
I definitely think that wooden strorage sheds are the best option. Cedar is an especially good choice. It has natural beauty and outstanding physical properties that make it one of the world’s most unique woods. It is naturally resistant to decay and insects. Metal is also a good choice, but it is not nearly as asthetically pleasing as part of your landscape as wood would be.
When you are building a storage shed, what do you want to cover it up with. You can choose between the 3 most common types of sidings; metal, vinyl, and wood. Each has it’s own pros and cons. Metal – If you choose to side your storage shed with metal it will be stronger then the other types. It is also pretty inexpensive to buy prefabricated metal siding and and is fire-proof. The only downside is that since it is so susceptible to rust, it isn’t as durable as the other types and it may not last as long. Vinyl – Vinyl is a great thing to side your shed with for a couple of reasons. One it already comes in a color so you won’t have to paint it ever. Two it won’t rot from water, or split, warp or crack. Also it is impervious to bugs, so they won’t be able to burrow in. The downside is that it is more expensive, but it is very low maintenance, and it will last a long time. Wood – Wood is by far the most commonly used siding, but that is also because it comes in so many different types. Yo
