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.

But I wasn't addressing the OP. I was addressing the poster, who
posted less than a day before I did.

In that case, why did you ask him "Why do you think it woudl (sic) be a good idea?"

He never offered any indication as to whether he thought it was a good
idea or not. All he did was ask if the OP ever installed it and wondered
how it worked out.

I think he did offer an indication. I don't think he would have
asked if he wasn't considering doing it himself. I certainly don't
think he would have asked if he already was sure it was a bad idea. So
that leaves that he wasn't sure it was a bad idea and must have had
reason to think it was a good idea.

Even if you don't see it that way, that's the way I see it and it's
not unreasonable.

Considering doing something and thinking it's a good idea do not go hand in hand.

I didn't say he thought it was a good idea. I said he had some
reason to think it was a good idea. There might have been bigger
reasons that it was a bad idea, and that's why he posted here, to find
out if there were.

I've "considered" doing things a certain way until I did some research to find out If
it was good idea or not.

Why did you consider doing it if you didn't think there was some
reason, perhaps a reason not yet known to you, that it was a good
idea?

Having an idea is not the same thing as thinking it's
a good - or bad - idea. Sometimes it's just an idea.

Yes, but you've broadened the scenario from what we had here. We
didn't just have an idea. We had an idea that he thought was worth
investigating. People don't do that unless they have at least a
suspicion that it's a good idea. If there's no chance that it's a
good idea, they don't investigate.

He merely asked if the OP did it and how it worked out. That can - and should - be
nothing more than a person doing some research.

Should? You're going to tell Fer T111 what he *should* be
thinking?
