Havasu, the problem is getting the materials and finding a handyman. My friend can do some stuff but he works a lot and doesn't have much free time to come help. He had to pick up more hours to pay the mortgage on the new house. It's very hard to find reliable people who won't just come out and steal stuff and then ghost. Had handymen do that in the past. Ideally I'd love to do a ground rated pressure treated wood one. Not familiar with T-111 siding but I'm about to google it.
The siding on my pump house is T-111. They make a plywood version, which is what mine is, and they make a cheap press board one. Either one will do the job.
 
If it is stopped away from the ground to prevent wicking/rot.
I built mine on a concrete pad on top of some 3/4 minus gravel, so the siding is several inches above the ground. Snow does build up aginst the building but there's generally very little moisture in the snow to damage the siding. And it's painted too.

Or just use Hardie Panel. It looks like wood but is concrete based. It lasts forever with no rot or otherwise. That's all I use anymore.

They have several products. I use their T-111 looking products on my buildings. The buildings are nearly 30 years old and look like new. Paint them every 30-40 years just to keep it looking fresh (from paint fading).
