Same thing crossed my mind, and it's what I'd use if I was cladding a shed. My dad built his house about 36 years ago, clad it entirely in untreated cedar. It sat like that in the rain, sun, and seaside air for about 25 years before they finally decided to stain it grey -and that was just to even out the sun-bleached tones as it was going up for sale. It's still going strong.

Just a question, why are you buying a couple of timber sheds? If your needing a larger storage space why not build a block work one to your required spec.

I did that and it saved a bloody fortune over the alternatives. Plus depending on your council you shouldnt even need planning for it.

back years ago cedar used to be used in the construction of sheds and outdoor structures because of its oiliness, its not commonly used today because of the price, im no expert on timber pricing but at today's rates i'd say the price of cedar was probably up there with teak. Its certainly alot more expensive than oak

smells nice aswell

Yikes. Back home it's be the oak that would be ridiculously expensive (teak as well of course). Cedar is not bad at all price-wise. Vinyl siding is used on most newer homes, but cedar is still a popular option for roof shingles, decking, and sheds etc. In the 70s and 80s it was common to see internal walls or ceilings finished in rough or planed cedar t&g.

its import that bumps prices up, knower days you have to be licensed to import certain timbers, depending on what license you have and how many others had it you can effectively charge what you like

sadly its that and the cost of living that's destroying the trade
