Of course it can. The longevity of a siding doesn’t just depend on the material itself, but on the maintenance too. The things you should do is prevent mildew formation; put sun shades over the windows to protect it from heat; and cover the sidings using sealants or wet concrete. The simplest of ways to make your siding last longer. ;)
Sandra - we don't have any mildew here on our buildings (much too hot and dry), no windows in this barn and the new siding is a powder coated painted metal so no sealant is necessary. I am sure things like this are necessary in other parts of the US or other countries but not here.
Something’s missing in the barn look? Is it the barn quilt? Haha. I guessed that because I saw your more recent post where you’ve already placed the barn quilt. I must say it’s a beautiful touch. I like the new look of your barn, by the way. It looks cool on the eyes. Though I’d say I miss seeing barns with red roofs and sidings.
