INSTALLATION
Installing Round Cuts on Gable
Ends
Round cuts can be installed directly
onto Cedar Dimensions Shingle
panels. If desired for transitions,
panels can be installed using Starter
strip over Drip Cap, or into T-Channel
or Lineals. When installing into
any channel or lineal, cut 4˝ from
the bottom of the Round Cuts
(see Figure 18). Allow ¼˝ gap
for panel movement.
NOTE: PANELS MUST BE
INSTALLED FROM RIGHT TO
LEFT. Do not nail tight. Allow ¼˝
into all channels, posts and stops.
Make a template for gable angle by
locking a short piece of siding into the
gable starter course. Hold a second
piece against the gable finish trim.
Mark angle on first piece and cut
(see Figure 19). Make templates as
needed.
Centering Round Cuts on Gable
Ends
When installing Round Cuts in
gables, the last piece should be cen-
tered at the peak of the gable for
proper appearance.
a. For symmetrical appearance at
peak, position and lock full panel
in the first course with Round Cuts at
center of the gable (see Figure 20).
Temporarily fasten through center
hole. Continue temporarily installing
full panels toward right side of the
gable (see chart, Figure
21, for overlap).
b. When less than full panel is need-
ed, measure top of Nail Hem into
gable end trim, less ¼˝ (see Figure
22). Use this dimension (L) to cut
first piece for installation.
c. To locate the cut mark on 1st
panel, measure from the appropriate
temperature mark to the right and
mark top of Nail Hem (see “L”on
Figure 23).
d. Use template and cut at mark. If
needed for secure installation, move
the mark an equal distance (X on
Figure 20) from any Alignment Line.
e. Remove temporarily nailed panels.
