VIDEO FEATURE: Cedar Sidewall Shingles Drainage

Featured Video

Cedar sidewall shingles are one of the best options for natural exterior wall siding. It looks great on any natural building site, it lasts a long time and requires no maintenance. No other wood siding can compete with the durability and good looks of cedar shingles, and working life is extended even more if you create a vertical drainage path behind the shingles to allow any moisture to escape downward harmlessly from the wall.

The quick video below shows what this detail looks like from the bottom edge of a wall, the place where moisture would escape if needed.
