Hope maybe one of you guys can help me out. I need to replace a couple of 4×8 sheets of T111 on my detached garage. When I built it 15 years ago T111 with the grooves on 12″ centers was about all that was available in this area. Now all I can find is 4″ and 8″. The guys at the “box” looked at me like I was crazy. Has anybody seen 12″ oc T111 lately or am I doomed to a mismatched wall.
Thanks,
Bill Koustenis

Bill,
They still carry it in the local lumber yards here in Knoxville Tn. I just bought some for a project on an home here. Try your luck with the smaller, locally owned shops. Good luck.
Try asking for Reverse Board and Batten (RBand B)
The grooves are actually about an inch wide as compared to about 1/4 to 1/2" wide on T1-11. It also comes in 3/4" thickness.

You might try contacting some of the lumber companies. Warehauser (sic) come to mind. They should be able to tell you if they make 12"OC T-111 and who in your area sells it. Ran a Google sarch on " lumber AND manufacturer AND plywood" looks like a good starting point.

I would look for 1-800 numbers.
12" oc
If the grooves are 1-1/2" wide and 12"OC then the material is probably one called "Reverse Board & Batten" panel and not T-111. Ask your supplier for RBB.

And thanks for posting an answer to the question. Being new here you probably didn't notice that the original post was from several yrs ago.
Stick around, you'll get the hang of it.
