Cedar Siding

Can anyone give me some information on cedar siding? Such as longevity, insect damage, installation and comparison to other woods such as Hemlock. I am considering using 6" wide boards for a clapboard look and stained in a light stain to acheive that golden look. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Cedar Siding

Thanks for your input jt...especially about the nails, I probably would have gone with galvanized.

Peters, red cedar, whether eastern or western I do not know. Is there an advantage one way or the other?

Cedar Siding

Thanks Peters...good advice. We do have carpenter bees here and that was one of my concerns but so far they have not bothered the barn I built last summer.
I have heard of people having to spray with an insecticide to prevent them from damaging the siding. I am not real keen on using chemicals.
We are on top of a hill so I will probably top and bottom nail like you did and use the stainless nails.

Cedar Siding

Peters, your right those nail guns are great. I have the Porter cable guns (brad, angled finish and angled framer)they may not be as durable as the Senco but they have saved me a lot of time over the past few years. I am curious, how many sq of cedar siding did you do and approximately how long did it take?

Billy, did you need to clean the siding before you stained it in order to obtain the natural color again?
