Porch Gable a
My client wanted something special on her home because she felt that by going with vinyl siding she was giving up too many details, but maintainence had become too much on her older home.
She found a photo of a gable end she liked on an old victorian house and asked if we could replicate it. This was a challange as the pattern was anything but symetrical.
I enlarged the photo and created a grid so I could copy the pattern and then using a router I cut the pieces out of a full sheet of Azek PVC. I routed the edges and fit them together on a sheet of plywood attaching them on the backside.
Design or Plan used: My own design

Contest Details
Update: Congratulations to our winner Fred Eche, who took home the prize with his Ginerbread House.
*Contest is closed.
Beginning August 16 and running through September 29, Fine Homebuilding readers can submit photos of their favorite exterior trim details for a chance to win the new Senco Fusion cordless nailer.
We’re in search of those crowns, casings, and columns that separate the instant classics from the cookie-cutter homes. It may be a carefully reproduced railing on a historic home, or it could be the subtle proportions on those new widow casings that make the front of the house pop.
Contest ended on September 29, 2010.
Winners were announced on October 8, 2010.
