Hello All - I am considering a major facelift to my Post frame garage and wanted to get thoughts/opinions on what I am considering doing.
We would like to remove the metal wall panels (as seen in the pictures) and replace with Vinyl Siding on the exterior. As this is a post frame construction, there is no sheathing along the framing in which to attach vinyl siding to, so I am wondering if this poses a problem and whether sheathing could easily be added without having to add 2x4 studding along the perimeter. Alternatively, is there a way to add vinyl siding over the existing metal, and fasten the siding to the metal?
The roof is also metal and I am debating whether to replace with more metal, or install asphalt roofing. If I install asphalt roofing, I would need to add plywood over the trusses as currently the metal roof is fastened directly to the trusses.
