What material do you suggest?

[Rich Riesmeyer]

The recent 1000 year flood we had in SC last month has sent 1 or 2 inches of water flowing through my sons garage.   The garage originally had wood paneling, and it shows that it has been flooded at some time in the past also.      Given the topography, I don't think it could ever flood any deeper.  Looking for suggestions on what to replace the wood paneling with.    I was thinking cement board for the bottom 2 ft and drywall the rest.   Any suggestions for a better permanent solution would be appreciated.

TIA,

Rich
