Abstract: An angled cap member is provided to finish off hips and ridges for use with a simulated cedar shake panel for walls or roofs having at least two courses of simulated shakes in relief therein, the shakes being in overlapped and underlapped relation with a varied butt line, and recessed underlaps between side-by-side shakes.

Abstract: A simulated cedar shake panel for walls or roofs having at least two courses of simulated shakes in relief therein, the shakes being in overlapped and underlapped relation with a varied butt line, and recessed underlaps between side-by-side shakes. Part of each underlap is recessed enough to contact the roof or wall surface and provide a multiplicity of support surfaces for the panel. A step provided in each underlap near the bottom thereof forms part of the shake simulation and also adds to the structural rigidity of the panel.Tongue and groove side-to-side and top-to-bottom panel interlocks form part of the shake array simulation, so that the interlock structure is concealed and the desired non-uniform shake appearance enhanced.A stackable corner member one shake high is provided, the corner member having a skirt element which interfits with the butt edges of overlapped panel shakes to take up gaps due to the random butt line.An angled cap member is provided to finish off hips and ridges.
