Planning to build a shed? First things first: Know the different types of wood for shed building. This will help you determine whether the wood you intend to use is durable or not. Don’t waste money and time. Here are 7 types of wood for building sheds:
Cedar – Durable and wood-eating insect resistant
Cypress – Old-growth cypress is durable and rot resistant
Larch – Characterful with high resin content
Douglas Fir – Excellent dimensional stability
Redwood – Durable and slow to burn
Pine – Cheapest timber for building
Plywood – Affordable and easy to assemble
So which wood type would you prefer? If you’re on a budget, select a timber that is affordable. But if you can pay for the expensive type, which is more durable of course, then why not? Happy shed building!
