Siding species, grade, and application

10 years ago
Very clean yet rustic look for exterior siding. Is this beveled lap siding or a gap rain screen system? Can you let us know the species and grade of the wood and finish treatment used (if any)? Thanks! Great project!

    Thank you! The siding is eastern white cedar. The assembly is a rain screen with the siding attached to 2X2 pressure treated battens. The siding boards are 1X4 with a 1/2” gap reveal. The weather barrier is Solitx fronta quattro - a black building paper made for this type of installation.

    Thank you for the information about the siding. I had the same question as dpaolella. I love the scale and massing of these buildings!

    I was wondering how it has stood up to the weather. I'm in Southwest Washington State and the weather here is very wet and was thinking that the moister getting behind the 1x4 would cause the material to warp around the knots etc... Be interesting to see how it looks in 5 years. Not sure I would recommend it in an area with most days seeing 80-100% Relative Humidity and getting from 60 to 100 inches of rain a season. It looks good from the distance that the picture was taken.
