That's how I did my house 3/4 larch , 6" w/ 4" exposer. Ya gotta dry your boards! Even a little bit. I think lumber is half dry the first two weeks if properly stickered. This kind of cut the boards will dry in place and breath as wood should. I didn't see any butt joints in the video but I back mine with strips of aluminum. Building the trim out is a must as well , for caulking.
Great work on that siding install. In regards to using oils as a preservative. You need to fully flood it on. So make sure it’s saturated, and it’s an every 24 month reapplication. Yes people do go longer, but it then just takes more product and unnecessarily exposes the wood to the environment. And make sure you don’t have any loose fitting clothing on when your running that saw. Nice place!!
I am siding my shed with 5/8 by 6 foot by 5 1/2" fencing pine treated boards. My edge molding is 2x4's. I overlap them leaving about 1/2" so around 4 3/4 to 5 inches reveal. They look real nice, they are SYP from H Depot for $2.25 each. My plan is to use a deck sealer on these boards. My entire 2 story shed is SYP PT wood except for the ceiling joist which are just SYP 2x8 x12's. I am using 2 1/2" galvanized siding nails and so far just nailing the top edge. The natural curl on these boards means I lay them on with the curled side facing out. I figure they are always going to be about the shape, and they lay in nicely. After I am done I may go back and nail down some board edges. You want these fence boards very dry before you put them on as they will shrink up. I put them out in the summer sun a few days and then let them dry at least a week leaned up inside my partially built shed. Anything too warped, I will take back to H Depot.
Nice to see a new video. Nice progress. Can't wait to see it finished 👍🏻
You and me both!
