Outdoor wooden soffit paneling showing signs of rot; unclear panel type.
Hi!
We have a house from 1974, the outdoor soffit has rotted. But what is the panel called, I can't find it anywhere.
See the picture.
 
It is regular exterior paneling with a fine-sawn surface.
The gaps are meant to allow air exchange and should be covered with insect mesh or similar.

There are no gaps, it is some type of tongue and groove paneling. I can't find it anywhere.
 
Straight-edged paneling or beveled straight-edged paneling.
. I'm having trouble finding it for my house as well.
 
I am most curious about why a ceiling rots away?

Agree, a soffit that is installed like that wouldn't rot if the roof is intact. But one would assume that the original poster has already fixed the roof? Anyway, it's not the boards we see in the picture that are rotten, they look fresh, don't they?
