Preparation

When Western Red Cedar is properly installed and finished, it will give years of trouble-free service and will give your home a character and distinction that other claddings cannot match. More
 
   
Bevel Siding

Spacing for the siding should be laid out beforehand. The number of board spaces between the soffit and bottom of the lowest piece of siding at the foundation should be such that the overlap is appropriate. More
 
   
Tongue & Groove

Tongue and groove siding can be installed horizontally or vertically. In horizontal application, start at the bottom and work up with the grove edges facing downwards to assure a weather-tight wall. More
 
   
Lap Siding

Lap sidings can be installed horizontally or vertically. For horizonal applications, start with the bottom course and work up with channels pointing upwards. More
 
   
Board & Batten

Board and batten is a vertical pattern created using cedar boards and battens of various widths for a range of effects. Although for good appearance most builders strive for the widest boards and narrowest battens, the battens must be sufficiently wide to adequately overlap boards.

Corners & Field Joints

At inside corners, siding is frequently butted against a trim strip. It can also be butted against adjoining walls with a trim strip used to cover the join.
