How Half Log Siding Performs in Extreme Weather

Half log siding is built to handle tough environments. Wood versions, when sealed properly, resist rain, wind, and UV damage—but require upkeep. In contrast, steel half log siding offers superior performance in snow, hail, and extreme temperature swings without warping, cracking, or fading. It’s ideal for high-altitude cabins and regions with long winters or scorching summers. Engineered options also withstand moisture and heat better than traditional wood. No matter the climate, choosing the right material and maintaining it properly ensures your half log siding looks great and lasts for decades, regardless of the elements.
