A strip of zinc along the shed roof peak will help with this problem by providing a chemical barrier of zinc carbonate which rainwater releases from the strip. A lumber yard should have them.

I can't see why they would not work on the sides, too, although they would have to be nailed on where they would be exposed to rainfall.
