Polaris Homeside Select Double 7in. Cedar Shake Vinyl Siding (1/2 Square) Pebble Clay

Even just after putting a shingle on, even before nailing it down, I have trouble finding the seam between two adjacent pieces. The material these are made from are much thicker then the VAST majority of other vinyl siding on the market. It is so thick that the usual methods of cutting ( a metal cutting or grinding wheel) doesn't work as well.As a result of the thickness, squeezing pieces into tight spots is extra difficult. (frustratingly difficult) But we worked it and got them installed correctly and the look is so fricking good I almost can't believe it!We went with the charcoal gray in an area that had a LOT of windows, water outlets, electric outlets and installation was very difficult. Between the tight spots and the thickness of the material this can be a difficult product to work with. Most vinyl siding is so thin and flimsy and frankly cheap that it is easy to just bend and flex into position. Not this stuff, just be prepared to work with it.Each piece has multiple lock points to hold them in place, this also is a good thing as it really makes the finished product look amazing. But it is a pain because it is tough to get them into position and locked correctly.I highly recommend testing the starter strip you plan on using before putting it up. The starter strip we chose was INCREDIBLY hard to latch the shingles onto. Those shingles aren't going anywhere! Geesh!I also HIGHLY recommend this product, as the old adage goes, "you get what you pay for" and it is doubly true with this product.

Shipped timely, arrived quicker than the local store could get it for me. Great quality. Looks great on our dormer. Highly recommend.

Half a square was all I needed for my bay window. Couldn't find anywhere else that sold just half a square. Easy to install - though needed a strip of under sill to hold the top piece in the J channel. I used the charcoal gray which went well with my blue slate.

Went up easily. Looks great.

Very thick and sturdy. Better than the existing siding.

This is a nice product. It was cheaper than a similar item at the Home Depot. The only criticism I have is if you order too many tiles it’s very painful and expensive to return them to the manufacturer. You have to return it by freight which cost a lot of money and then there’s a 20% restocking fee so you’ll lose lots of money returning this item. My recommendation is to buy less than what you actually need and then re-order the additional items. That way the manufacturer pays for the free shipping and you don’t have to return any items.

FRONT FACIA ON HOUSE

The siding is very high quality and looks absolutely amazing. As others said, since they are shorted pieces they are a bit more annoying to side with than traditional siding. I found it worth the price for my camp because I really wanted to keep that camp look with the durability of vinyl. The shipping was unbelievably fast for the quantity that I ordered. Big box stores didn't have anything like it available when I needed it nor could contractor exclusive places.
