Installation Instructions
10. SIDING UNDER GABLE
Install J Channel flush against the gable. Measure the
angle of the gable by taking one scrap panel and inter-
locking it with panel below so that an upper corner
touches the J Channel running up the gable. Take a
second scrap panel, place into J Channel and hold
over the first panel. Mark a line along the angle where
the panels overlap. This will be the pattern for cutting
the end of the siding to be installed under one side of
the gable. Measure again for the correct angle on the
other side of the gable by following the same proce-
dure. Install siding panels with the ends cut to the
angle of the gable.
9. FINISHING TOP ROW OF SIDING UNDER EAVES
The procedure for finishing top row of panels under
eaves is similar to fitting panels under windows.
Usually furring will be needed under this last panel to
maintain correct slope angle. Nail undersill trim to the
furring with aluminum nails. Trim should extend the
entire length of the wall.
MEASURE SPACE UNDER EAVE
Measure the distance from the top inside slot of the
undersill trim to the lock or the bottom of the panel
below and cut the edge into the undersill trim. Prior to
installing the undersill trim to the wall a 3/8" bead of
high quality urethane caulk should be used behind the
undersill trim to prevent water to prevent water infiltra-
tion damaging the wall sheathing.
INSTALL SIDING UNDER EAVE
Lock the bottom of the siding to the panel below and
the cut edge into the undersill trim.
