Splicing Inside
Corner Post
Cut 1" off all but the outer face of the
upper portion of the bottom corner
post. (Fig 4) Lap 3/4" of the upper post
over the lower post, allowing 1/4" for
expansion.
This method will produce a visible
joint between the two posts, but
will allow water to flow over the
joint, reducing the chance of water
infiltration.
Capping a Corner Post
Step 1
Corner posts on homes with a second-
story overhang need to be capped by
making the cuts shown. Allow approxi-
mately 2" extra length on the corner
post. Trim away everything except the
2 faces. Fold the flaps created over
each other as indicated (Fig. 5).
Step 2
Drill a 1/8" hole in the center through
both layers of vinyl, and install a
pop rivet to hold them in place. Cut
a notch in both layers to allow clear-
ance for the corner (Fig. 5).
