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.

We ordered pacific blue and love the color, nice deep blue, darker than expected but thats okay. If you are doing a gable end you will most likely need two boxes. We only need two peices when we got to the end so are using second box of extras for around a door. Wish the company would provide an installation video. It is very hard to get them to click together on bottom and sides. Not easy to install but looks great!

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.

The tiles are actually 7.5 inches, so if you purchase this to replace damaged or missing pieces, it will not match up with your existing 7 inch siding. Aside from that, seems like a good product.

Very thick and sturdy. Better than the existing siding.
