How Long Does Natural Bark Siding Last?

The durability and lifespan of poplar bark siding significantly depend on the quality of its installation. By adhering to our comprehensive installation guide, you’ll find that natural poplar bark siding can last an impressive 25 to 100 years. To maintain its quality and ensure its longevity, it’s crucial to store the shingles in a flat, dry place until they’re ready to be installed. Much like cedar shakes, poplar bark siding will naturally evolve to a darker brown or black hue in areas exposed to high levels of UV radiation, such as gable ends. This change in color over time is a natural characteristic of poplar bark and should be expected. In contrast, when the siding is installed in more protected areas, such as covered porches, this aging process slows down, preserving the siding’s original appearance for a longer period.
