Find a local Tasker to clad your shed near you

It would depend on some factors like your particular needs but shed claddings are typically made of wood, metal, or composite material. Wood is best for something rustic and classic but may need maintenance now and then. Metal and composite materials are used for something sturdy, modern, and functional. Any of these materials can be customised depending on your tastes.

External shed claddings simply need regular washing to keep them clean. The occasional inspection can also help spot rust for decay, depending on the material, and have them treated as needed. Internal shed claddings share a similar approach, but extra care is required to ensure that the cladding finish won’t be scratched or damaged in a significant way.

It depends on how you use your shed. Still, it’s typically the external cladding that’s prioritised as any damage that the external cladding may incur when left untreated would spread the damage faster than a neglected internal cladding would. The external cladding is also the one that’s more exposed to the elements, so it would make sense to prioritise it first to stop the spread of damage.

It depends on how much cladding you need to be installed and how large the shed is. Unlike typical room installations, the area covered here would be much more significant. As such, it might take longer on paper, but there’s still no way to know for sure. It would be best to align with your Tasker on timeline concerns to manage expectations better.

In the case of exterior claddings, yes. Exterior shed cladding needs to be built tougher to handle the harsh elements: heavy rain, strong winds, and other environmental hazards that pass through your areas year after year. The need to reinforce the cladding is even more emphasised with shed cladding because it’s much lighter than a whole house, meaning it’s more susceptible to heavier damage.

Even with proper maintenance, there will come a time when your shed cladding will need replacement. Even replacing the cladding for both the interior and exterior may take different periods before they need replacement. It’s a matter of inspection from home building specialists to see when the need would indeed arise or if a more in-depth maintenance measure is only what’s needed.
