Has anyone had any experience wrapping GT 6×6 porch posts with fiber cement siding?
I want to dress them up and it seems a 4 pcs. of lap siding vertical would do the trick at a low cost.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

How do you plan to nail the siding to the posts, and what will you do at the corners?
Chuck,
I'm assuming that you want to do this because the posts would maintenance free. The corners and fastening would be an issue with the fiber cement. Typically it's blind nailed because the nails don't set well like they do in wood. If you want to put it up and forget about it, use trex. More $ the fiber cement, but looks great, in my opinion.
