   I know Azek will.

   The Hardie, I doubt. It may GO, and then break at a later time.

   Edit: Might consider resawing Azek or planing it  to thickness for the siding as well.

   Thanks Sphere. That is what I was afraid of. I am not familiar with Azek, in that I have not used it. I will go down to my local lumber yard and take a look and maybe fondle a piece of it. Using it full thickness will work ok for me I think.

   My initial thinking was that I would need something thin to make the curve. Actually, I get more shadow with the thicker material. I think you have solved my problem.

   Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that I've seen folks around here (Breaktime) recommending SS finish screws for attaching/fastening Azek.

   If the thickness works for ya, Azek is the ticket.

   Yep, I use torx drive SS screws primarily. I'd shoot a fin nail to tack it, then screw it off. Don't use the square drives into hard substrate, they waller out too easily. Torx are the bomb.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
