    How to install/build outside corners with Cedar shake?
    I'm trying to replace the existing cedar siding with new. Of course, the existing outside corner installation is not up to par, so I'm trying to figure out how to install and flash the new outside corners without installing trim; that's how it originally was. Laced system is good, but time consuming, any other suggestions?
    Thank you in advance

    Use tar paper or house wrap around corners, about 2 feet each side. No easy way to do corners without corner post trim. Maybe another person knows of a way.

    Sorry, best I can do.
