This is a great idea but it is not available at the local Home Depot or Lowes.

How strong is this in high wind areas? What are the ratings for Atlantic coast in Florida? It would be great to put this outside of cinder block. Does it need a rain screen underneath it against rhe OSB?

Also do the connections to the interior framing need to be waterproofed as well?
