At Dakota Steel & Trim, we believe great building products should do more than just look good; they should work harder, last longer, and make installation smarter and more reliable. That’s exactly why we’re excited to introduce our newest steel siding profile: the Tatanka Board, also known as T-Board.
The T-Board was designed to deliver a bold, board-style appearance while maintaining the strength, durability, and low-maintenance benefits that steel is known for. Whether you’re working on a residential, agricultural, or commercial project, this profile brings together clean aesthetics and practical performance in one well-engineered system.
A Bold Profile with Clean Lines
The Tatanka Board features 9 inches of width coverage with a 7/16” reveal, creating strong, defined lines that add depth and visual interest to any exterior. This profile is ideal for customers who love the look of traditional board-style siding but want the long-term reliability of steel instead of wood or composite materials.
With its crisp shadow lines and consistent reveal, the T-Board can be used as a full exterior siding solution or as an accent feature to highlight certain areas of a building. It works equally well on modern designs, rustic projects, and everything in between.
Built from High-Quality Steel
The Tatanka Board is made from a 28-guage embossed steel, giving it excellent strength and rigidity while also adding subtle texture for a refined finish. Like all steel siding products, it resists common issues found with other materials; no rotting, warping, cracking, or swelling over time.
This makes the T-Board a smart long-term investment for builders and property owners who want a product that holds up to the elements and maintains its appearance for years with minimal maintenance.
Available in All Dakota Steel & Trim Colors
Design flexibility matters. That’s why the Tatanka Board is available in all of our colors, making it easy to match existing projects, coordinate with other profiles, or create a bold new look. Whether the goal is to blend in or stand out, the T-Board gives you the freedom to design with confidence.
Engineered for Performance: Weep Holes and Moisture Control
One of the standout functional features of the Tatanka Board is its integrated weep holes, which are designed to prevent moisture buildup and allow proper drainage behind the panel. This helps reduce the risk of moisture accumulation and supports the long-term health of the structure underneath.
It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, because real-world performance matters just as much as appearance.
Insulation Included for a Complete System
The Tatanka Board system includes 9/16” foam insulation, which is require for installation. This insulation helps create a more complete siding system by providing added backing support and contributing to a more consistent, professional finished look.
By making the insulation part of the system, installation is more predictable and performance is more consistent from project to project.
Installation Guidelines for Best Results
The maximum recommended length is 12 feet, which helps balance ease of handling, proper fit, and long-term performance. Following these guidelines helps ensure the siding looks great and performs exactly as intended.
