Building a new home comes with a lot of decisions that have to be made. From size and the number of rooms to color schemes and appliances, you have a lot to consider when constructing your family's dream home. One important thing to consider is what kind of siding you want on your home. Typically, manufactured homes have two options, vinyl siding and hardie board siding. First, let's look over the pros and cons of vinyl siding.
Pros:

Cons:
The main drawback for vinyl siding is warping and fading. This can be caused by extreme weather conditions such as: high temperatures, heavy rainfall, and high winds. While the siding can hold up to 110 mph winds, these variables should all be considered when deciding what will work best for your home.
