Return to “What kind of siding is this?”
Thank you! I'll find some in Houston.ninemm wrote:Looks to be 12" LP (Louisana-Pacific) SmartSide Triple 4" lap siding. You probably won't find it at Home Depot or Lowe's but a real builder's supply will carry it or can get it. I can get it locally (Dallas area) at Foxworth Galbraith or Builder's First Source. I'm sure they have similar full line builder's supply stores in your area.
I'll pull a section tomorrow. I suspect it is 12" overall with less exposed, but I'll know for sure tomorrow.flintknapper wrote:Charles L.

Chas...if you can pop the nails/fasteners on a piece enough to look at the back of it...there will be markings (required) that will tell you who the manufacturer was/is and probably the designated "style".
From there...its a simple matter of using your Google-Fu to locate some (if still available).
Be sure and get accurate measurements, 11" siding would be an odd size (12" being more common) and that type of siding is called "triple lap".
I think there's a Hardiplank size that will work for precisely what you suggest.puma guy wrote:If just the bottom is damaged you might consider removing damaged course and rip cutting the damage section and get a custom mill to make a single replacement plank of rough cedar or similar grained lumber. There may be another product like Hardi or Certainteed that have a molded grain you could cut to fit also. A good carpenter may be able to rip cut the damaged section in place and replace a single plank. Since the siding is installed bottom course first you're going to have to pry the second course up to remove and replace the entire bottom course if you do find the original stock. Good luck.
I checked and it's three on a sheet. I'm worried because I can't find anything using "Dutch Lap Triple 3."Keith B wrote:On further review, take another look and make sure it is three on one sheet. The Certainteed Dutchlap Double 4 has a 7" exposure, which would look like 2-3.5" boards.
