Cypress Wood Siding
Protect your investment with stainless steel nails. An online source for stainless steel is http://stainless-fasteners.com/siding.htm. They have a great guide to determine how many nails you will need for your project. Galvanized nails work, BUT when you strike the head the protected coating is breached.  Eventually the head starts to rust and streak.

Cypress is superior to pine and even cedar regarding decay & rot, weathering, durability, checking, cracking, and stability. Pine is less costly, but we think you will be surprised at how affordable cypress can be. The somewhat higher cost of cypress is usually offset over time by less repair, painting  and maintenance.
