Bow Window
I might have a siding job coming up that has an andersen 30 degree bow window. The job is new construction. Now I have framed and put in these windows, but never sided around one. It is supported by the cable system, and the soffit sticks out about 1 inch past the top of the unit, and is about 9 inches above the unit.
Anyone have any pix of bows they have sided that I could see?
Anyone? Patrick?

get out your chop saw, and frame a box shaped just like the window out of 2x3 then sheath it with 1/2" ply, and either wrap it with coil. or side it with vertical soffit, I like to use the 2" pro beaded for that. But coil will look nice and it will look like one large window unit.

I second the recommendation for Probead-the wainscoting in 8" (triple panel) is a really nice touch.
