Step 7
Install Siding on Door Wall
If you want the door opening on the left, flip the walls and apply siding
to the opposite side of the wall frames.
2.
Locate a pre-cut 16" wide siding panel that has a 'LAP' edge. Position this panel with the
'cut' edge flush with the 2x4 header support and extending 3/4" below the bottom plate.
Do not nail along the LAP edge until the other siding panel is installed.
3.
Install a full width panel next to the 16" wide panel. If you are installing optional windows
you can out the openings now or later.
4.
Install a 21-1/2" wide siding panel, the siding will extend 3-1/2" beyond the wall frame.
