I only saved up enough money for land, a well, plumbing and septic which will be out of a cheap shed, kitchen, bathroom and small sleeping loft for Winter.
However I have a lot of stuff that won't fit in there so I was trying to converse with LLMs on how to build multiple cheap 200sqft sheds using materials from Faceberg Marketblatt.
All I really got out of it was that the tires and windows I was collecting originally for an Earthship would be useful for the foundation and lighting.
It said I should find posts and wasn't helpful on what I should use for siding so I thought I'd ask /diy/
If you wanted to build a house that had "rooms" connected by an outdoor decking(got that for free too) area what cheap/free materials would you use that would last and not rot?
I have enough lumber for framing as well, just need ideas for siding/roofing/possibly insulation

>roofing
Cheapest roof is galvanized sheet metal - cheaper than roofing tiles, doesn't need the same steep angle for proper drainage and you can reduce the number of joists as they are lower in weight. You will need alot of fibran for insulating the loft space.
>siding
probably aluminium sandwich panels - cheap and fast and gaps can be filled with foam. That's still going to leave a barren frame on the inside that you would need to cover with plasterboard or plywood.

If it is just for storage but a large pole barn and be done with it. Metal siding, metal roof. That is the cheapest thing out there in most places. There are many types of foundations you can choose for it. This is highly dependent on where you live though. Weather, soil, earthquakes, frost heave, all that shit matters.

Rammed earth walls. You can use fill from excavating the foundation mixed with sand, gravel and cement then pound it into forms. It's almost as strong as concrete and has temperature and moisture regulating properties.

Aluminum is actually the cheapest siding? Does it need OSB and tyvek?
I was going to insulate the framing with fiberglass then add shiplap the walls
I really don't want to spend much money considering I already got all these other materials for free, is there a chance any aluminum siding could be on faceberg marketblatt?
Siding seems like it might be the one material I can't find people throwing out during a remodel or having leftover unused material.

You can even use just corrugated iron (galv steel) walls, same as the roof, but if you do put insulation in between the studs, make sure there is an air gap between the metal outer, the insulation and a place for the air to rise otherwise condensation forms on the interior.
PIR boards as insulation for that purpose works fairly well on walls

I have a bit of galvanized roof, I think 16 feet or so
But the problem is that it's been hard to come by, certainly not enough for multiple 200sqft sheds
Was hoping there would be some more abundant materials I can collect either extremely cheaply or for free

Palm fronds, thatch, or wooden shakes.
