I did not. The existing sides were the original barn siding, Poplar I think. The big barn is over one hundred years old and the local historic folks recommended no material between the new siding and the old wood. The siding was attached directly to the faded green siding.
On the little barn, Mr Zimmerman is taking off some boards I hammered on and painted when we bought the place in 1995.
That way, the next owners can return the barn to original should they desire.
I can tell you there as been no water intrusion, leaks or further degradation to the old siding. Cover and go.
Best upgrade I ever did to this place.
