difference in siding...

[OIIIIIIIO]

Hi,

For my garage, I'm trying to get it to look like or at least styled like our house, or to look not quite like a garage anyway and sort of kind of match the house...

Our house has beveled cedar siding; 1/2" thick...4.5" exposure.

How much different would 3/4" thick and 4.5" exposure on the garage look? What about 3/4" with 6" exposure?

The garage will be 18 ft from the house...

The reason I ask is because the 3/4" stuff is on sale...about 60% of the cost of the 1/2" stuff...

Thanks!
Patrick

The garage

If the house is separate from the garage you should be fine with the difference. Our house has cedar with 4.5 exposure, but my wifes building I have 6" exposure. No one has ever noticed the difference unless I pointed it out. The building is about 15-20' from the house.

Added a few more pics to show the difference

Shouldn't really be much of an issue. I would try to keep the exposure down to around
5" though. 6" might be a little too noticeable. IMHO.
