In most situations a typical starter strip is used to start the first course
of siding. Special circumstances (panel application around decking, special
roof lines and other unique applications) may require other techniques to secure
the first panel locking leg. This can be accomplished in several manners (as
illustrated in Figures 1 & 2).
Anytime a J-Channel is used as a starter strip it must have a 3/16˝ diameter hole
drilled no greater than 24˝ on center to allow for water drainage.
