What in the world is “open joint siding?


To protect against rain, snow, wind and more, Modern-Sheds can be built with rain-screen technology.

Our open joint siding is more than just a pretty (sur)face. Natural forces impact how we design Modern-Sheds and select the materials we use. We need materials that protect from the elements, while also providing a modern aesthetic. However, form should follow function, but how?
