10 Stupid MISTAKES I Made Constructing My Shop Building! Watch Learn Save Big $$$

What happens here

The first mistake identified is the orientation of the metal siding on the 'mini shop'. The siding was installed horizontally. This design choice leads to the accumulation of mildew on the bottom of each horizontal channel and dust/debris on the top, making the building look dirty and requiring more frequent cleaning. The host recommends installing metal siding vertically instead, which provides a better aesthetic and structural integrity by allowing water to drain directly down.

Goal: Avoid issues with horizontal metal siding by opting for vertical installation.
