Virginia Creeper

Our house is a converted barn.  We have recently bought some Virgina creepers to grow up the back of the house.  The barn is made of wood - are v. creepers a good idea?  Could they damage the wood?

Thanks

    Hi @samtulakRFC0tJ99 and welcome to the forum  :)

    Virginia creeper can push it's way between the boards and then push them apart as the stem swells ... I'm afraid I wouldn't grow it up a wooden building. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
