Bevel Siding Coverage Table for Seasoned Sidings

Assuming minimum one inch overlaps*
| Nominal Width (inches) | Dressed Width (inches) | Exposed Face Width (inches) | Linear Feet Factor | Surface Measure |
| 4 | 3-1/2 | 2-1/2 | 4.80 | 1.60 |
| 6 | 5-1/2 | 4-1/2 | 2.67 | 1.33 |
| 8 | 7-1/2 | 6-1/2 | 1.85 | 1.23 |
| 10 | 9-1/2 | 8-1/2 | 1.41 | 1.18 |
| 12 | 11-1/2 | 10-1/2 | 1.14 | 1.14 |
*Larger overlaps can be used on wider bevel sidings such as 10 and 12 in. pieces. See WRCLA publication Installing Cedar Siding for more
information.

| COVERAGE CALCULATION | EXAMPLE |
| 1 | Calculate total wall area (length x height) | Length x height = 160 square feet |
| 2 | Subtract square footage of openings (windows, doors) to determine wall area for siding | Door = –20 square feet
Window = –20 square feet
Area for siding = 120 square feet |
| 3 | Add 10% for trim | Plus 10% for trim = 120 + 12 = 132 |
| 4 | Multiply figure by the appropriate factor for linear or
surface measure | For 6 in. siding:
132 x 2.67 = 352.4 linear feet
132 x 1.33 = 175.6 surface measure |
