Best Answer

It depends on the density of the wood used and its thickness, or cross sectional area and the amount of overlap between boards. An average cladding quality softwood is around 24- 32 lbs per cu foot. Assuming approximately 3/4 of an inch thick siding thickness with no overlap this amount of timber would cover a 16 square foot of wall. So it would weigh approximately between 1.5 to 2 lbs per square foot.

How do you put wood siding on a metal mobile home?

As a contractor, I would use stainless steel trim screws (available at Home Depot). Because they're stainless, they won't bleed, regardless of what species of wood you use. Depending on the style of siding (vertical or horizontal lap) you may have some small hole filling, prior to your final finishing of the siding.

How do you define the difference between lap siding and dutch lap siding?

I believe the Dutch Lap is the one with the beveled edge at the top of the board, which creates shadow lines. The board lays flat on the vertical. Lap siding has flat boards overlapping each other on an angle. Beaded lap has a rounded, beaded edging detail at the bottom of the board. The boards lay on a slight angle overlapping each other.

How do you attach a mailbox to vinyl siding?

YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO TRY THAT. VINYL SIDING HAS NO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. THE WEIGHT OF THE MAILBOX ALONG WITH THE DAILY USAGE WILL EITHER DISFIGURE THE SIDING OR BREAK IT. EITHER MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WOOD SHEATHING BEHIND THE SIDING OR STUDS. DRILL HOLES THROUGH THE SIDING SO THE SCREWS DO NOT GRAB THE SIDING BUT GRAB WHAT IS BEHIND IT.
