Red Cedar cladding - Vertical or Horizontal???

John Walsh
5 years ago

Hi

We're using Red Cedar cladding on the wall to the right hand side of the front door and all along the underside of the overhang but I can't decide whether to have it Vertical or Horizontal.


Any thoughts which would look best?


Thanks

John

      To me the vertical one is more elegant!

      Vertical, it contrasts with the direction of the stones.

      Vertical. Trees don't grow horizontally.

      For some reason I feel horizontal looks best, marginally.

      No, trees usually don't grow horizontally, but does that imply we can't have wooden flooring?

      Horizontal. No doubt!

      I think horizontal looks best because then the slats follow the same orientation up and under the ceiling. Thats what I “see” when I looked at pics, and I think it’s funny the votes are at neck and neck (12v11), clearly there is two ways of doing it equally acceptable so up to you.

      I think I may have to start an action to round up voters for the horizontal version ;-)

      Very marginal for me. I think I'd go with vertical as I find the horizontal boards under the overhang a bit busy, it also goes with the doors and windows but contrasts with the stone. I do however like the horizontal lines next to the door as the door doesn't stand out quite so much to me with the vertical planks :)
