Considering building a garden room / shed / workshop as diy.
The frame is likely to be timber + OSB sheathing + wrap.
Size wise maybe 16’x10’
My question is that given I am in my mid 60’s, should I go with timber or some kind of man made cladding?
What’s the cost differential?
As I get older I might not be up for treating it every year - but how expensive is using the fake timber?
I need to do some sums
