Redwood Siding
Lindsay ~ 2 June 2006
Although vinyl or aluminum siding is easier to maintain, it’s hard to beat the sheer beauty of natural wood siding. This reclaimed redwood siding started out lining olive tanks, which gives it its deep varied patina. California’s old-growth redwoods are famously resistant to decay and weathering, and while those forests are protected today, you can occasionally find salvageable wood appropriate for siding, decking, or any place in your home where you want the warm look of wood. Keep in mind that wood siding comes with maintenance requirements though. It should be stained every 3 to 5 years, kept away from sprinkler systems, and inspected (especially the joints and nails) regularly.
