Fiber cement siding (James Hardie) offers the best durability for rural homes — it resists wind, rain, UV, insects, and fire. Vinyl siding is a cost-effective alternative but may suffer wind damage in exposed locations. We recommend heavier-gauge vinyl with enhanced wind-lock systems for rural applications.
