Shed Building Materials That Last in Arkansas

A planning guide from the Olivandro Co. build crew.

Humidity, hard summer sun and heavy spring rain make Arkansas hard on outbuildings. Material choices matter more here than in a dry climate.

Siding

LP SmartSide is our workhorse: engineered, treated, holds paint, resists the woodpeckers and moisture that punish plain OSB. Board-and-batten and cedar are available when appearance drives the decision.

Roofing

Architectural shingles for buildings meant to match a house. 29-gauge painted metal when longevity and shedding water fast matter more than blending in.

Framing and floors

Pressure-treated skids and joists at the ground, kiln-dried framing above, and 3/4-inch tongue-and-groove treated decking for floors that see equipment.

Fasteners

Hot-dipped galvanized or coated screws throughout. Cheap fasteners bleed rust down new siding within a year.
