What's the cheapest shed siding?

[remagenman]

Building a 4x12 shed and I'm at the siding portion of the install. Don't want to throw too much money at this so just spit balling ideas.

I have enough cedar planks for the back to do an overlap but I think that's a waste of good cedar for something no one will ever see.

OSB with Tyvek and ?

It does rain alot here but the shed is underneath a big tree.

It is pretty common to use Smartside panel siding on sheds without any other sheathing underneath. You can often find reasonably priced Smartside panel siding on Facebook Marketplace.

I went for T-111 siding for my chicken coop build. After paint, it looks amazing. I paid 33.00 per sheet, 5/8" thick earlier this summer. Can't beat the price and it looks good too.

Cardboard with a good coat of paint.

Smartside panel does sheathing and siding at once. Primer is super durable and lasts a long time without paint if you like the tan

It's like retirement. We can tell you exactly what you need to know as long as we know when you're going to die or how long it has to last...

Thats how I did my last sheds. They are $45 a panel, thats why I asked for cheap. I wish they sold simple plastic sheet like panels you could just pop into place and screw in a few screws. Hmmmmmm.

A few screws for a structural panel?

Too bad you are not in the Minneapolis area. I have 20 sheets of Smartside panel siding I would give you that would work for a shed. I want it out of my house. There are several listings locally for Smartside panels at $30 each. I don't think $30 is bad when you don't need sheathing underneath. I wouldn't use this stuff without sheathing for a house or garage, but it is done all the time for sheds.

Being under a big tree just means it will stay wet longer.

Plywood and paint it.

Thanks, I'd be on it like a fat kid on a donut!

I went ahead and used OSB sheets painted over, hopefully it will last a few years. I just need to consolidate all my sh...t that I have in containers all over the yard in different locations.

Got tired of knowing I have something but can't find it due to me sticking stuff in a container for future use. I'm going to purge a bunch of **** and consolidate......I hope.
