We have some rotten pieces of siding on our 1979 home in need of replacement-since masonite is unavailable, we have looked at hardboard...our siding is 12" and the only 12" hardboard we can find does not have the wood grain...any suggestions?
(The house is under contract and inspection is set for early next week!!!!!)

" we have looked at hardboard.."

Masonite siding is hardboard.
