STEP 7. SIDING FRONT WALL
Using one frame selected as an end wall, measure and mark stud locations according to dimensions
shown in
figure 2
. Place the proper length 2×4 studs at those locations. Mark required length and
angles. Cut each 2×4 to fit. Toe nail studs into place using (2) 8d nails top and bottom.
See figure 2.
Using the remaining end wall frame, repeat step 4, using
figure 3
as a guide.
Place two 4'×8' sheets of wall sheathing face
down side-by-side on a level surface. Place the
back wall frame on the sheathing, as shown in
figure 4
. Trace the back wall frame onto the
sheathing, remove frame and cut along the lines.
Properly place sheathing on the frame and nail
into place using 6d nails every 8" on center.
Using the front wall frame, repeat step 6, using
figure 5
as a guide.
Prior to cutting lines for the
doors,
extend outlines out 1" in all directions.
Cut “new” lines for your doors shown in STEP 8.
Properly place siding on frame and nail using 6d
nails every 8" on center.
NOTE: Some siding pieces will need to be butted together, so a straight cut is necessary. To keep
moisture from “wicking” into the siding, keep the bottom of the siding 1" above the bottom of the
treated bottom frame member.
