Installing Cedar Discovery
®
Half-Rounds on Gable Ends
Cedar Discovery Half-Rounds can be
locked directly onto other Cedar
Discovery panels . If desired for
transitions, panels can be installed
using Starter Strip (CDSS) over Drip
Cap, or into T-Channel or Lineals.
When installing into any channel or
lineal, cut 4" from the bottom of the
Half-Round (Fig. 1). Allow 1/4" gap
for panel movement.
NOTE: PANELS MUST BE
INSTALLED FROM RIGHT TO
LEFT. Do not nail tight. Allow 1/4"
into all channels, posts and stops.
Make a template for gable angle
by locking a short piece of siding
into the gable starter course. Hold
a second piece against the gable
finish trim. Mark angle on first piece
and cut (Fig. 2). Make templates as
needed.
Centering Cedar Discovery
Half-Rounds on Gable Ends
When installing Half-Rounds in
gables, the last piece should be
centered at the peak of the gable for
proper appearance.
a. For symmetrical appearance at
peak, position and lock full panel
in the first course with Half-Rounds
at center of the gable (Fig. 3).
Temporarily fasten through
center hole. Continue temporarily
installing full panels toward right
side of the gable (see chart, Fig. 4,
for overlap).
b. When less than full panel is needed,
measure top of nail hem into gable
end trim, less 1/4" (Fig. 5). Use
this dimension (“L”) to cut first
piece for installation.
c. To locate the cut mark on
first panel, measure from the
appropriate temperature mark to
the right and mark top of nail hem
(see “L” on Fig. 6).
d. Use template and cut at mark. If
needed for secure installation,
move the mark an equal distance
(see “X” on Fig. 6) from any
alignment line.
e. Remove temporarily nailed panels.
