VERTICAL GRAIN
While house building methods vary widely across the US, one common practice has been that carpenters often use "vertical grain" wood on surfaces such as floors, shingles and siding that need to endure extreme weather conditions. This practice can be seen here in New England on churches, meeting houses, schools, bridges, barns and homes. The builders of these structures learned from experience that the performance of "vertical grain" wood is superior when it comes to withstanding severe exposures.
