homemade cedar shingles for siding

10/12/2005 01:29 PM Jeebs212

I recently acquired a bunch of cedar fence pickets (1"x5"x6') from a fence that was being torn down. I planed the old paint off one side of the pickets and used them to build a fence. I still have a bunch of pickets left over, and was wondering if I could use them to make my own shingle siding. There's a portion of my house that has cedar shingle siding, but it's in poor condition and needs replaced. The shingles would not be tapered, just flat planks, but they would not be used on a roof. Has anyone made their own shingle siding this way, or have any advice otherwise? Thanks!
