It's true. Mostly it depends on when morning sun would hit it to dry off the roof and siding. If it's afternoon sun hitting it, then dew and overnight rain can do their damage longer. It's slow and hard to see but it's there and constantly working against you.

Also, certain trees might run their roots closer to the surface for moisture and could push your shed off balance a bit.
