Will hardie lap siding flex enough to bend around a 6′-0″ radius? What about Azed trim?
If not, any suggestions?

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

I know Azek will.
The Hardie, I doubt. It may GO, and then break at a later time.
Edit: Might consider resawing Azek or planing it to thickness for the siding as well.

Thanks Sphere. That is what I was afraid of. I am not familiar with Azek, in that I have not used it. I will go down to my local lumber yard and take a look and maybe fondle a piece of it. Using it full thickness will work ok for me I think.
My initial thinking was that I would need something thin to make the curve. Actually, I get more shadow with the thicker material. I think you have solved my problem.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that I've seen folks around here (Breaktime) recommending SS finish screws for attaching/fastening Azek.
If the thickness works for ya, Azek is the ticket.
Yep, I use torx drive SS screws primarily. I'd shoot a fin nail to tack it, then screw it off. Don't use the square drives into hard substrate, they waller out too easily. Torx are the bomb.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
