#105 Dutch Lap Siding 1x6x10' Knotty #2 Grade Pine (sold by the board)

Also known as Dutchlap, Drop Siding, Novelty Siding, and German Lap, #105 Dutch Lap siding is commonly used for exterior cladding and is considered a traditional profile. In fact, for many decades it was the most common exterior siding used in the USA. It is a variant of shiplap with a curved “scooped” radius on the top edge of each board and is planed smooth (not rough). Today, popular vinyl siding profiles imitate the look of this classic wood cladding.

More Information:

This profile is most commonly installed horizontally to help rain and moisture to slide off. It is recommended to apply an exterior sealer or primer on all surfaces before installation. Then caulk and paint after installation.

Unlike T&G profiles, #105 Dutch Lap Siding must be face-nailed, as opposed to tongue-nailed. 16 or 18 gauge nails work fine for interior applications, and 15 gauge works for exterior installs. Many people fill in the face nail holes by mixing some sawdust from cutting the boards with wood glue. This makes a paste that matches the color of the wood.
