SQUARE FOOTAGE

First, determine the amount of lumber you will need. You will need to determine the

square footage of your space by multiplying the length x width of your project, making

sure to subtract for windows and doors. Next determine how much siding to purchase.

Use the charts below to determine coverage on your Dingewood purchase.

PREPARATION

Remove the trim around windows and doors. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs and

ceiling joists. Tongue & Groove Siding can be installed horizontally or vertically, so

determine which direction you would like the wood to go.

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. (See Chart 3) Nails should be installed at an angle so

they cannot work their way back out of the wood. Nails should be applied with enough

force that they must penetrate 1-1/4 inches into solid wood and are flush with the wood.

Measure the length of the wall for your first row and install your first board. Butt the

second board against the first and work across the wall, until the final piece of the first

row. Make any necessary cuts for the last piece and install. Check every few rows that

NAIL INSTALLATION (Chart 3) VERTICAL APPLICATION 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.

TRIM Purchase Dingewood 1 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. trim in coordinating colors, to trim out half walls, headboards or similar projects. 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.
