I agree. The OSB in my chicken coop has lasted 9+ years with little to none damage.

Thank you.It depends. OSB siding is treated to resist mold and termites so lasts literally decades.
Siding should be installed so it does not come into direct contact with the ground.
To achieve this the base/floor frame should be placed on blocks to keep all the wood at least a few inches above the dirt. OR be made from wood rated for ground contact.
Even with specially treated wood I prefer it does not touch the ground.
Since I’m looking to have waterfowl in my coop, I really want something that lasts. Perhaps I’ll check Lowe’s again and see if they specify what material is in use.I agree. The OSB in my chicken coop has lasted 9+ years with little to none damage.
Thanks.My duck house is made of wood. I painted the inside with porch and floor paint, use shavings and do not keep food or water in the structure.
So far it has stayed dry.
Thanks.
I wouldn’t have food or water in it either, but with ducks comes moisture.
I’m a fan of this one. If the price works out, I think this is what I will go with. (But I’m very picky, I keep changing my mind, so we’ll see) However, I can’t see if it’s OSB or Particleboard that’s in use. What do you think?

That makes so much sense. I feel dumb now, but thanks.That has OSB siding. You can see inside it in the second picture. It is extremely rare to see particle board used in construction.
Particle board is basically pressed sawdust with glue mixed in. It is very uniform in color.
Zero shed companies would ever use particle board. They would have way to many warranty claims if they did.
I have never ever ever seen particle board used in siding.
That makes so much sense. I feel dumb now, but thanks.
So a wood shed would be my best option?
By the way, what do you recommend me to purchase for roosts? (This would be used for ducks and chickens)
