Abstract
A unique modified shiplap joint with matching or corresponding reverse curves on opposing edges or ends of a piece of siding, each forming one-half of the joint: an underlap edge, and an overlap edge. The respective curves engage and resist or prevent separation of the edges, particularly under a pre-determined wind load. A fastener channel in the underlap section allows for a nail or fastener to be used, while the nail head is then covered by the adjacent overlap section. The respective edges form an angled gap, which is configured to prevent water or rain from entering.
