Install Siding on Gables
1.
Install a gable on the rear wall. The gable siding will extend over the 1x4 trim on the lower
wall. Secure gable to wall by nailing through the gable plate with 10d sinkers. Nail siding along
the 1x4 trim board with 6d galv. nails.
Siding Extends 3/4"
Below Bottom Plate
2x4s-72" Stacked to
Level Gable

Select one of the gable frames. Turn the gable over so bottom plate is on edge on floor. Support
gable studs and rafters with (2) two 2x4-72" boards stacked. This will give you a solid surface
when nailing siding.
2.
Install left gable siding panel with the 'LAP' edge flush with the end of of bottom plate. Use
6d galv. nails across the top of the 2x4 frame and gable studs. The siding will extend 3/4" below
the bottom 2x4.
