Steps 5 & 6
Panels for sidewall applications are available in 48" lengths. Pieces needed for one square (100sq.ft.) of product coverage = approximately 50, based on a
maximum 6" exposure from the top edge of HardieShingle panels in subsequent courses (refer to Figure 15).

panels with joints butted in moderate contact. Due to
overlapping of the joints, caulk is not required except where panels abut trim
boards. (figs 15 & 17). Ensure keyways do not line up on subsequent courses.
1) Install a 1-1/4" starter strip, then install a 8-1/4" wide HardiePlank

lap siding
starter course.
2) Place first panel so that panel end centers over stud. Trim panel as needed. Butt
the cut end into trim as shown (figs 15 & 17). When installing over a band board or
any horizontal surface, leave 1/4" gap between bottom of siding and flashing.
3) Secure panel, leaving 1/8" gap for caulk at trim and continue the course
along the wall.
4) Start the second course, by removing the equivalent of one full stud
cavity (16" or 24" OC), again abutting the cut end into the trim (figs 15 & 17).
This is to prevent pattern repetition. Repeat step 3.
5) Start the third course, by removing the equivalent of two full stud
cavities (figs 15 & 17) and repeat step 3.
6) Continue up the wall repeating steps 2 through 6 until desired height is reached.
