siding options

Everyone likes choices in life…cheese or pepperoni, salty or sweet, left or right. At Hometown Sheds we love to give you options, and whether you say a metal shed or wood building is better, you’re right!

Side 1: Wood Building!

Smart Panel is a great renewable resource that’s an engineered wood products often used in home siding. These 8 inch strips can be painted as often as needed and will not mold or mildew!

Side 2: Metal Shed!

Steel Dutch Lap comes in a variety of colors including white, light gray, ivory, tan and clay. It is a durable, horizontal vinyl siding which does not require a sheath underneath. This is a great option that meets the requirements of most HOA rules!

Steel Agricultural Panel uses the same quality steel as old roofs and barns and is the most durable of all of our panels. These also come in several color options and are custom built for YOU!

When choosing either a metal shed or wood building at Hometown Sheds, both sides of the story are clear winners. We offer high quality buildings with lots of options that won’t break the bank. We’d love to give you the options to help you chose your side and take home a custom built building in the process!
