Generally post on Knotts, but you guys do this all day, so?
Just finishing up a set of plans for a garage/workshop, 24×50 with partial basement.
Archy is good at plans, but so so on the best (meaning cost, durability etc) products for eaves and corner boards, rake etc.
I want to use a mfg low maintence product for all the trim, and maybe real cedar or hardie plank for the siding. I do not want any vinyl though.
Any suggestions on a particular brand and type of product?
Thanks in advance.

I generally use copper.

Copper to wrap trim? Whats the substrate?

I've put it over tulip poplar and oaks. Doesn't seem to matter much. Strikes me as an ideal exterior. Zero maintenance and even carpenter bees go elsewhere. Don't know if you have them, but they love cedar. We have lots of bugs in Va, none eat copper.
With my own woodlot, I use what's most readily available. Often use black walnut for exterior paint grade. Customers, that is. I'm not fond of exterior paint. PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
