Gable End Measuring and Cutting

You can develop a pattern to cut gable end panels. Start with two

small pieces of siding and lock one piece onto the panel below

the start of the gable. Hold the other piece into the eave line. At

the bottom of the second piece, follow the angle and draw a line

on the rst piece (FIG 14.1). Cut along this line. Make angle cuts

on siding in gable sidewalls using this pattern. Check your angle

often to ensure all gable slopes are straight. Any roof slope can be

handled in this manner.

Installing in Gables

First install the angled end of the siding into J-channel, then lock

the butt end of the siding into the lower row of siding. Make sure

you maintain the proper allowance for expansion and contrac-

tion. When you have reached the nal row at the peak, nail

through the face of the siding with a trim nail that matches siding

color (FIG 14.2).
