It's more expensive than cement fiber board but I'm not sure how much more in terms of square foot cost. It doesn't need to be painted and weathers beautifully.

The exterior is actually not painted but is metal. It is called paint grip galvanized metal.

Did you fabricate it to look like clapboards? Or can it be purchased that way? It looks fabulous I was looking to stain clapboards to be a similar color love the metal idea. Also looks like you left it unfinished?

Thanks for the kind words. It was fabricated out of sheet metal
to look that way. You could paint or stain wood to have a similar effect.

I also love the paint grip galvanized metal. Do you use it as you would something like cement fiber board or other siding, or does it need special attachments? Also, is it a lot more expensive than typical cement fiber siding?

That metal siding is really beautiful. Who was your manufacturer or supplier?
