Hi, Yes the wood is Western Red Cedar, 1 x 8 boards and 2 x 2 battens. It has been easy to obtain in the locations I have used it in. The metal siding was either a narrow rib and or corrugated - the owner selected this with the builder during construction and the very limited services provided during the construction phase did not include my being a participant in that selection. I am guessing that it was easy to obtain and quite affordable too - given the budget concerns on the project as a whole. I hope this gives you the information that you need. Cathy

Thanks.
