If damage from high winds is a concern, then metal siding and roofing is really the best option hands down. Because each piece interlocks and you can always double or triple the amount of screws in each panel, the wind rating can easily be up to 140 miles per hour. We treat our builds from the perspective of needing to easily withstand hurricanes and earthquakes (which is sort of what delivery amounts to ;)
Yes! I would recommend something like Cor-A-Vent since this is vertical cladding. On Tiny homes we don't usually do it because the Zip has a bit of texture to it that allows the metal to not really hold water in tension and every inch of width comes from interior living space. Lot's of trade offs with tiny homes.
Sure! The board and batten comes from a local metal roofing/siding supplier. We use a couple different ones as they both stock slightly different metal colors. Our main go to is Best Buy Metals, which does have locations around our area of the country and beyond. The v-groove wood-look metal is Lux Architectural Products out of BC ( luxarpro.com/lux-lap-cladding-panel/ ) -- we've tried a few different wood look steel plank siding and this is our favorite, even though it's not supper easy to get.
Nice job and great material to use. What are the safety ratings for hurricane 🌀 and tornados 🌪
