Shed Siding Options Compared

How engineered wood, fiber cement, vinyl, metal and board-and-batten differ in looks, care and weather resistance.

Siding is the face of a building and the first line against rain and sun. Choices range from painted engineered wood to fiber cement, vinyl and metal. Homeowners in Nashville often choose siding to match their house, then ask what will look good in ten years with the amount of care they are willing to give.

Engineered wood takes paint well and offers many profiles. Fiber cement resists rot and fire but is heavy and needs special tools. Vinyl is low-upkeep with limited colors and can crack in cold. Metal goes up fast and is tough. Board-and-batten gives a barn look in several materials. We bring samples so you can see them in your own light.
