A polymer siding panel for mounting on a wall surface that in one embodiment includes at least two horizontal adjacent sections and a plurality of decorative elements integrally formed with the said panel and disposed in at least one row. The panel may also include an upwardly facing channel formed on a rear side of the siding panel opposite the front face; and at least two splicing members. The splicing members may be transparent or translucent and manufactured from a polymer that is the same or different than the polymer of the siding panel, and one of the splicing members may be welded to and joining the sections to one another. The other splicing member can be welded to one of the sections at a side edge opposite the side edge adjoining the other section. The other splicing member may extend beyond the respective side edge. The upwardly facing channel can have a vertical leg and a bottom leg, and one of the side edges includes a notch in the vertical leg. The polymer siding panel may further include an upwardly extending lip on the bottom leg adjacent the notch. The bottom leg may have a portion adjacent the notch that is stepped to be higher than the rest of the bottom leg. The upwardly extending lip can be positioned intermediate the rear face and an outer end of the bottom leg. The side edge opposite the side edge having the notch may include a horizontal slot in the vertical leg. The slot can be configured to receive the stepped portion of the bottom leg of an adjacent panel with the upwardly extending lip on the adjacent panel fitting behind the vertical leg above the horizontal slot.
