This product is great, strong, well made, nails along the top and sides and not bad installing. Downfall, if you ever have to repair or install a new window, you will have to strip the whole wall, no such thing as repairing this siding.

No idea why im watching this, I dont have a house. I will say the temperature markings at ~2:05 are an interesting consideration i hadnt thought about!

I got a little confused with the nailing of each section, I know you have to leave room for expansion and contraction but looking at the way it's nailed I can't see how it can move.

After watching this video I still have no ideas what products/trims I need for my house. Can this be installed over rigid foam which was put on over the sheathing?

Hello. Can you tell me the best way to hang outdoor decor ON SHAKE siding. We don't want to put holes in the siding. The item is not heavy. The standard "siding hooks" don't work on shake. we don't have an attic vent on this end of the house. HELP...DESPERATE!

Thanks for telling me long how to open the box...

[limountainman]

No insulation foam boards...just skipping that step?

Why not install to the max and not worry about gaps.

When they start out telling you that the siding isn’t weather proof, that should be your first clue. I wouldn’t put vinyl siding on anything I valued to begin with, but this siding is particularly miserable to work with.

I wouldn’t use this product personally but if someone watches this and can’t figure it out then they have no business being off their handlers leash or using tools.
