Fiberboard siding

[Rusty]

My house has that old 12" x 8' fiberboard siding. I need to replace a few sections and cannot find any. Anything out there that will work?

That's going to be a tough one. It's pretty thick compared to today's products. Maybe a hardie plank with extra backing?

Maybe you can steal some from elsewhere on the house, on a side that does not show to the street or driveway?

Then put something else roughly compatible back in the areas you borrowed from.

They also make cedar siding in various thicknesses and profiles, much thicker than cement board.

It is usually a custom order at a big box, but lumberyards would sell by the piece.

You can use LP Smart side lap siding , and yes you can get it in a smooth finish.
The trick will be to get the old pieces off without damaging the ones you want to leave in place.

Yep, I was thinking a local lumber yard could either mill it or tell you about someone they know who can.
