Wood needs covering

Charlda W
by Charlda W
Against the brick is rotted wood on both sides of the wall, this side as you can see is rotted and needs to either be removed or covering the area with vinyl glued or nailed. What looks like would look better there is a deck right in front of it. I am not a carpenter so I would rather find the easiest way if there is one. Thanks for your answers in advance.

    need more info and better pictures. I would suggest you have a reputable carpenter or landscaper look at this problem before doing anything. Is it part of a structure, or facia or what?

    Yes, you need first to pinpoint why that wood is rotten: insects? humidity? and from where? As I see it, you better get that wood out of there. Keep on breaking the wall down until you find the end of that rotten wood. Put ome stuts under what ever is resting on that wall. Replace it with new wood treated against beasts. Then cover it up. Because you are doing most of the work yourself, and you need a carpenter to replace the wood, you are cutting down on the "work hours".
