A top-quality shed is one of the most useful and valuable outdoor structures you can add to your property. You can use it for extra storage, make it your private workspace, transform it into a backyard bar—the possibilities are endless!
When you start shopping for a shed, you’ll find that there are a lot of different options on the market, each with their own advantages. One of the first and most important features you will need to decide on is the siding for your building. Let’s take a look at the advantages of some of the most popular shed siding options.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a durable and remarkably low-maintenance siding material. It is made using a high-quality plastic (PVC) that is resistant to dents, fading, moisture, corrosion, and pests. Even scratches are hard to see on vinyl siding, as the color goes deep beyond the surface and blends it all together. As long as you give it the occasional rinse or pressure wash, it will hold up for decades. Vinyl siding is available in a wide variety of colors for an affordable price, making it a versatile and cost-effective option as well.
Duratemp
With Duratemp shed siding, you get the best of both worlds. Beautiful, sturdy hardwood is combined with a weatherproof veneer to create a natural look with a manufactured strength. A Duratemp shed has an authentic, textured appearance that won’t crack or need repairs. It can hold up against hard weather, rot, mold, and other damage. Plus, Duratemp siding is available in many color options, which can be matched to your existing structures, and can be easily painted if you ever want to switch things up.
Board & Batten
Board and batten is one of the most popular shed siding materials because of its unique, yet simple look. This layered style is commonly used on barns, an association that will instantly give your property that charming rustic aesthetic. Because they’re made with wood, board and batten sheds are sustainable and durable. If constructed properly, they can last for decades. As another bonus, board and batten is fairly low-maintenance. If it does get damaged, individual panels can be easily replaced without having to spend the time or money to replace the siding in its entirety.
