The only real disadvantage to real wood siding is that it requires periodical maintenance.All exterior wood siding should be sealed on the back before installation to protect it from moisture which inevitably gets behind the siding.The ideal moisture content for exterior wood products is 12% since it will dry down to 8 to 10 percent in the summer and come up to 16 percent in the winter.This is not commonly a stock item for us. Select is very limited in knots up to completely clear.#2 & Better rough dry is your typical "knotty pine" grade and has almost unlimited knots and other limited defects usually on the back.#3 rough dry has some small knot holes, wane, limited checking, stain, limited crook and warp.Sheeting is an economy low grade of 1" boards with excessive defects which won't allow it in any of our regular grades but is still useful in some applications.Note: the rough dry grades described here are dried to exterior moisture - 12% Any species, grade, or width may be used. BOARD and BAT: This is simply wide rough boards applied vertically with a narrow strip nailed over the crack between the wider boards.Grades: Can be run in any grade available in each species. Fine Line: Is a tongue and groove product with a tongue that is 1/8" longer than the groove is deep so there remains a 1/8" space between the two faces of the board.Any of the T&G paneling products in the 12% moisture can be used as exterior siding and come in all 3 species and several different profiles. TONGUE and GROOVE: Exterior tongue and groove is usually used for soffit material.Shadow board: Is like the channel rustic but has a narrow 1/4" channel exposed at the edge.Textures: Typically, rough faced but can be smooth DROP SIDING: Is basically the same as Channel Rustic but has a coped channel that will shed the weather for a horizontal application and comes in the same options as Channel Rustic.Textures: Typically has a rough faced but can be smooth Species: Cedar, F&L and White Wood (Alpine Fir, Grand Fir, and/or Spruce) CHANNEL RUSTIC: Has a vertical application but is frequently misapplied horizontally. Has a rough face with a 1 1/4", smooth channel exposed at the edge and is a shiplap product.We hand-pick logs with more character to give it a very rustic, pioneer feel. NATURAL EDGE: (Live edge siding, one edge siding) this is a rough cut at ¾” thick and has one straight edge on top and a natural log edge exposed on the bottom.BEVEL: (also known as lap siding) Always has a horizontal application with a thin top edge and a thick butt which laps over the thin edge.
