Absolutely. Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making it an ideal choice for exterior applications. Its overlapping profile further enhances weather resistance.
6. Do I need to treat cedar channel siding before installing it?
Answer:
While cedar is naturally durable, applying a protective stain or sealant before installation is recommended for added longevity and to preserve its rich color. Untreated cedar will weather to a silvery-gray patina over time.

For outdoor use, periodic cleaning and reapplication of a protective finish or stain will help maintain its appearance and durability. For indoor use, minimal maintenance is needed—just occasional dusting or light cleaning.
9. How much coverage does 1"x6" and 1"x8" channel siding provide?
Answer:
- 1"x6" Channel Siding: Provides approximately 4.25 inches of coverage per board after accounting for the overlap.
- 1"x8" Channel Siding: Provides approximately 6.25 inches of coverage per board after the overlap.
To calculate lineal feet from square feet: Use the conversion factor of 2.825 for the 1x6 and 1.924 for the 1x8.
Examples:
If you need 1000 square feet of coverage using 1"x8" channel siding: 1000x1.924= 1924 lineal feet If you need 1000 square feet of coverage using 1"x6" channel siding: 1000x2.825= 2825 lineal feet
