need predrilling. They should not be visible once inserted into the wood. Points should be diamond or blunt. HORIZONTAL APPLICATION In horizontal application, start at the bottom and work up, with the groove edges facing downwards. Leave a gap .5” at each wall to allow for expansion and contraction. Siding up to 6 inches wide can be blind nailed with one siding nail per bearing toe-nailed through the base of each tongue.

In vertical application, start at one corner with grooved edge toward the adjacent wall. Leave a gap .5” at each wall to allow for expansion and contraction. Use a level or plumb line to ensure that the first board is installed plumb. Siding is nailed to horizontal blocking lines installed between studs or to furring strips. (See Chart 3) As with horizontal installation, pieces up to 6 inches can be blind nailed and wider pieces should be face nailed.

FINISHES If you would like to protect your wood surface, installed wood may be top-coated with Weather Wash brand topcoats. These finishes can successfully hold the weathered look. Use White Maintenance Oil to add the look of patina. Use Clear Maintenance Oil to bring back more of the warm browns in the wood. Use Varnish topcoats for a high degree of wood protection and select the sheen you desire. Dingewood siding is compatible with paint, for a customized weathered look. www.WeatherWashCoatings.
