Putting siding on a shed, what risks are there in using LP Smartside 38 series on 24 inch studs instead of the recommended 16 inch?
The sheeting is in part what will hold the barn up when it is windy I don’t think I would skimp on both the spacing and the siding, you might find it will only be a couple of extra studs and you can use cheaper siding, the same true with your roof. I have saved hundreds on sheathing alone by adding a single truss in some cases 2 but still saved much more than the few studs / trusses it cost to bring it to 16oc
