If you want the standing seam look in the fielders range it is nailstrip in 265 or 465mm wide profile but you will need ply behind the sheeting. If you want a wide profile with no ply use revolution roofing maxline 340

We want something that blends in, but because it's a zinc and colourbond shed home, I want to choose a colour that makes it look more like a house and less like a shed. I was looking at basalt but my husband would prefer a lighter colour for keeping the place cool in summer. My original choice was windspray but I'm a bit concerned it won't contrast enough with the zinc roof...but perhaps better than dune that might look too 'sheddy'...so hard to decide!

Hi! We had something similar installed on the front of our west facing weatherboard in Melbourne some years ago. We havent got around to cladding the underside yet, and it is just as well as there is some water getting trapped somehow in join with roof - just random drips here and there. So if we had installed lining boards straight away they would be ruined now... Cement sheeting is probably the most sturdy and economic option, but there are some great timber like finishes out there as well (not so economical but definitely add wow factor). If it is possible, my advice is to build main structure first then see what the impact of the space is before deciding on cladding on underside. Good luck!

i don't believe that any of the cladding products you mentioned will age as you wish and once you add a stain the fading will be slowed but you should consult the manufacturers for their specific advice but my suggestion would be to consider using Colorbond steel on both walls and roof for a more economical product until you can afford to replace the cladding with a natural timber
