Did you ever install the T 111 as fencing horizontally? And if you did,
how did it work out. Thank you

Why do you think it woudl be a good idea? How did you plan to use
it?

The second floor my of house is covered in it, but there is also chip
board or something behind it, to which it is nailed.

I think 4x8 sheets of t-111 would flop around, especially in the wind
unless you mean to have it on top of, attached to a fence, maybe with
2 horizontal rails, or 2 rails and 2 diagonals. I'm not sure the
latter could be flat enough to attach to.

Also when a big wind comes, they'll be enormous forces on a 4x8 sheet.
Maybe a 2x8 sheet??

A lot of people have stockade fences, even 7 feet high. I wonder,
when the wind blows, how much air makes it through the cracks between
the pickets. If not much, then maybe the T-111 would be okay in the
wind. (but don't take my word.)

The rain in the grooves seems like the least of the consideration. My
walls were covered with semi?-transparent latex stain, which doesn't
seem like a lot of protection, but it rains on them all the time, and
they're in good condition except on the south side where sunlight hits
them all day for months.

I hope the OP takes your advice...8 years after the question was asked.
