A siding system for efficiently increasing the longevity of an outer wall structure (i.e. siding, etc.) of a building. The siding system generally includes a siding assembly which includes a venting structure including a first support member and a second support member, wherein the first support member is attached to the second support member. A plurality of first passageways and a plurality of second passageways extend between the first support member and the second support member, wherein a first perimeter of the plurality of first passageways varies from a second perimeter of the plurality of second passageways. The venting structure is positioned between a first layer and a second layer of an outer wall structure to allow the layers to efficiently dry and prevent moisture from building up between the layers.

The siding system of claim 1, wherein said first support member is substantially parallel to said second support member. 7. The siding system of claim 1, wherein said venting structure includes a plurality of connecting members extending between said first support member and said second support member. 8. The siding system of claim 7, wherein said plurality of connecting members separate said plurality of first horizontal passageways from said plurality of second horizontal passageways. 9. The siding system of claim 7, wherein said plurality of connecting members are substantially perpendicular to said first support member and said second support member. 10. The siding system of claim 1, wherein said plurality of second horizontal passageways are positioned between said plurality of first horizontal passageways. 11. The siding system of claim 1, wherein a group of first horizontal passageways of said plurality of first horizontal passageways are positioned between each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways. 12. The siding system of claim 1, wherein a group of first horizontal passageways of said plurality of first horizontal passageways are positioned between each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways along a longitudinal axis of said venting structure. 13. The siding system of claim 1, wherein said venting structure is comprised of a rigid structure. 14. The siding system of claim 1, wherein said venting structure includes a first end and a second end opposite said first end, wherein said first support member and said second support member extend from said first end to said second end. 15. The siding system of claim 14, wherein said venting structure includes a first channel extending through said first end and a second channel extending through said second end, wherein said plurality of first horizontal passageways and said plurality of second horizontal passages are positioned between said first channel and said second channel. 16. A siding system, comprising: an outer wall structure including an inner layer and a siding layer; a venting structure attached between said inner layer and said siding layer; wherein said venting structure includes a first support member and a second support member, wherein said first support member is attached to said second support member; wherein a plurality of first horizontal passageways and a plurality of second horizontal passageways extend between said first support member and said second support member; wherein a first perimeter of said plurality of first horizontal passageways varies from a second perimeter of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said first perimeter of said plurality of first horizontal passageways is smaller than said second perimeter of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said plurality of first horizontal passageways outnumber said plurality of second horizontal passageways; a first vertical passageway defined between said inner layer and said siding layer, wherein said first vertical passageway is fluidly connected to each of said plurality of first horizontal passageways and each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said first vertical passageway extends from a first side of said venting structure; and a second vertical passageway defined between said inner layer and said siding layer, wherein said second vertical passageway is fluidly connected to each of said plurality of first horizontal passageways and each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said second vertical passageway extends from a second side of said venting structure; wherein said first side of said venting structure is opposite said second side of said venting structure. 17. The siding system of claim 16, wherein said plurality of second horizontal passageways are positioned between said plurality of first horizontal passageways. 18. The siding system of claim 17, wherein a group of first horizontal passageways of said plurality of first horizontal passageways are positioned between each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways. 19. A siding system, comprising: an outer wall structure including an inner layer and a siding layer; a plurality of venting structures attached between said inner layer and said siding layer, wherein said plurality of venting structures are vertically offset from each other; wherein said plurality of venting structures are each vertically oriented; wherein said plurality of venting structures includes a first support member and a second support member, wherein said first support member is attached to said second support member; wherein each of said plurality of venting structures include a plurality of connecting members attached orthogonally between said first support member and said second support member; wherein a plurality of first horizontal passageways and a plurality of second horizontal passageways are defined by said plurality of connecting members; wherein a first perimeter of said plurality of first horizontal passageways varies from a second perimeter of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said plurality of first horizontal passageways have a smaller cross sectional area than said plurality of second horizontal passageways; a plurality of vertical passageways defined between said inner layer and said siding layer, wherein said plurality of vertical passageways are fluidly connected to each of said plurality of first horizontal passageways and each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said plurality of vertical passageways are each separated by at least one of said plurality of venting structures; wherein a group of first horizontal passageways of said plurality of first horizontal passageways are positioned between each of said plurality of second horizontal passageways; wherein said first support member and said second support member are comprised of elongated configurations; wherein said first support member is substantially parallel to said second support member.
