This view shows several elements, including the rafters, one purlin, the metal roofing, and the siding.

11. Metal roofing is my preference for pole structures. It easily covers the inconsistencies of the rough poles while still looking good. For this type of roofing, 1×3 purlins (onto which the metal roof will later be attached) are nailed on 2-foot centers across the length of the roof perpendicular to the rafters, with a couple of 12d nails at each rafter intersection. If you run the purlins well beyond the roof’s edge, then you can pop a chalk line and trim just where the edge needs to be. You can have whatever overhang you prefer, and you can square out the roof exactly, even if the inconsistency from the poles plagued you at the rafter level. Then the metal roofing can go on per the manufacturer’s instructions.

12. Vertical siding is a good choice, and wide white-pine boards go up quickly and cover well. Other siding types, such as metal or horizontal board, also can work. With any siding, just keep an eye out for how the project is progressing, stepping back occasionally to sight the wall. Make adjustments by trimming or filling out as needed. Apply siding to the back and sides of the shed, leaving the front open.
