Installation Guide

27"x38" Primed
Siding
9"x48-3/4" Primed Siding
Step 34 Install Primed Siding on Dormer Sidewall
1. Install a 27"x38" long primed
siding panel under the roof
sheathing on the side of the dormer.
Install the siding flush with the
siding on the front of the dormer.
Use 8d galvanized box nails.
2. Install a 9" wide x 48-3/4" long
primed siding panel on the dormer
side using 8d galvanized box nails.
3. Install the same siding pieces on
the back side of the building and
on the opposite end of the dormer.
If you are installing a metal roof, trim 1" from the bottom edge of these siding
panels to allow more clearance for the roof panels.
Important: Paint the edges of these
siding pieces before installing.
Step 35 Install Dormer Soffit & Corner Trim
1x3 - 33-3/4" Corner Trim
Primed Siding Filler
1. Install 33-3/4" long 1x3 corner trim flush with the siding on the dormer sides. Use
8d galvanized box nails.
2. Repeat to install 1x3 trim on the other corners.
3. Cut small fillers from leftover siding to
cover the end of the rafters and the 1x4
soffit boards. Install with 8d galvanized
box nails. The gable trim applied later
will cover most of the filler.
If you intend to insulate the roof, drill 2"
holes between the dormer trusses and
install the round soffit vents provided in
the kit. You also need to drill (2) two 2"
holes in the soffit area located below the
ga
mbrel trusses and install round soffit
vents. Drill (2) two holes at each corner
of the building. A hole saw drill bit can
be purchased at any hardware store.
