That was a popular product 25 years ago. It would rot the first couple feet up from the ground where water would splash and get into the exposed edge. You won’t find that product anymore unless someone tears it off another house.

It is all under a covered patio. Basically you are telling me I need to put something over it. What would you suggest?

No. The proper way to deal with that is to remove the stuff and go back with newer, more durable siding.

That masonite product is a PITA if the paint starts peeling and needs to be prepped to paint.

My last house had flat masonite siding on the top floor and the paint was peeling in places and it is like sanding very hard cardboard when prepping to repaint.

You can still get masonite products in the "pegboard" stye for using to put metal hangers in to hold shop tools. I have several of those in my home woodworking shop.

I had the same stuff def Masonite. I ripped mine off and added hardiboard siding. Was pretty easy. Looks better and I have no worries on it getting wet. I had to change it because I got careless with the pressure washer and it ripped the paint and exposed the particle board underneath. Can’t fix that
