LP engineered siding as trailer siding

Tom Dunlap

I know..an odd application to consider

I'm building a storage trailer built on a frame formerly used for a travel trailer. The frame is 26x8

There is some LP siding for sale at a good price. I'm considering it. The storage trailer isn't going to be moved...much. My concern is that it might not have the structural fortitude to flex and move as trailer siding. I don't expect that the trailer will be floppy but still. It would be a heck of a note to have it fall apart

I got four sheets of 5/8 4x8 exterior plywood that I'm thinking of using on each end side. The plywood should stiffen things a lot..but enough???

This is an economy project and I know there are many options. This seems to fit the bill but maybe not

Feedback???
