Installation Guide
STARTER COURSE
If your using Grayne Engineered Shingle or Shakes for an entire wall, start by
installing a starter strip.
Determine the lowest point of the wall that will be sided; from that point measure up
1/4" (6.4mm) less than the width of the starter strip, use a chalk line to make a straight
level reference mark (Fig 3). This location will position the top of the starter (Fig 4).
Align the starter on the reference mark and fasten every 8"-12" (203mm-305mm).
