Do you want to know how to fix rotted wood sheds? We used salvaged corrugated metal because it is an inexpensive way to save both the shed and the metal sheets. Corrugated metal is becoming very popular for do-it-yourself home projects. \u00a0You will see it used in many interior and exterior commercial buildings as well. Typically, it is applied for decorative accents.<\/p>\n
We had several sheets that were given to us to use for future creative projects. These metal sheet are very durable and like new on one side with a nice rusted patina on the other side. I like the\u00a0rustic shabby chic look so they were just perfect for our DIY shed repair project.<\/p>\n
Our rotted wood shed was structurally sound, but needed some water damage repair around the base of the shed. The corrugated metal sheets are great for protection from harsh weather and water.<\/p>\n First, we remove all of the rotted wood. Then we replace the rotted pieces with new plywood. Once the wood repair is complete, we cut 2 1\/2 ft. corrugated metal sheets then screwed them to all four sides of the shed. Add wood trim to the top of the metal sheeting, to prevents water from getting trapped between the corrugated edges and the wood siding. Always use painters caulk on the trim where it is applied to the shed to prevent future damage. Then prime and paint the wood.<\/p>\n The trim will give the shed a finished look. Also, the salvaged corrugated metal applied above the repair line of rotted wood sheds hides the line and give it a decorative look.<\/p>\n Since there was a small amount of damage to the shingles on the roof, we repaired them with Liquid Nails\u00a0instead.\u00a0 It is also be too difficult to find the right matching color shingle. Later, we will be replacing\u00a0the shed roof\u00a0at the same time as the main house they match. This is a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to fix the damage.<\/p>\n By adding the salvaged corrugated metal to fix rotten wood on sheds is an easy way to cover up the repairs. If you don\u2019t like the look of metal, you can use stone, brick, shake and shingle siding for a custom look.<\/p>\n *If you want build a new shed, click below for some DIY plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/fa60f7r9tnzcv1xkv1pf-3td2k.hop.clickbank.net<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Check this out for examples<\/em>:<\/p>\n![\"Rotted](\"http:\/\/thecolorgirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20170818_182248-1-1-993x1024.jpg\")
