Abstract
An elongated metal simulated log siding panel has a curved portion that simulates the curvature of a natural construction log. A plurality of longitudinally extending and randomly transversely spaced permanent bends in the curved portion simulate hew lines of a natural construction log, thereby creating a more natural appearance. Rotating disks compress the metal into an elastomeric roller to create the hew line-simulating bends.
Claims7
An elongated metal simulated log siding panel, comprising:
- an intermediate portion of the panel that extends longitudinally along the length of the panel and simulates a natural construction log having hew lines;
- and
- a plurality of longitudinally extending and transversely spaced permanent bends in the intermediate portion which simulate the hew lines of the natural construction log;
- wherein:
- the transverse position of the hew line-simulating bends varies relative to margins of the intermediate portion along the length of the panel;
- and
- the transverse position of the hew line-simulating bends varies relative to one another along the length of the intermediate portion of the panel;
- and further comprising:
- offset wall portions extending rearwardly from opposite margins of the intermediate portion to project the intermediate portion forward and give relief to the intermediate portion.
