Step 20
Install Front & Back Wall Overhangs
2.
Install a 4' long pre-built soffit board on the front wall under the 1x4 trim block. Use one
of the 7-1/4" long 1x4 block as a gauge to install the soffit board level across the front wall.
Install the soffit board to the wall studs using 2-1/2" deck screws. Drill holes in the 1x3 to
prevent the 1x3 from splitting.
1.
Locate (4) four 7-1/4" long 1x4 trim blocks packed in our kit. Install one of the 1x4 trim blocks
at each corner of front wall. Install the 1x4 trim blocks under the 2x4 gable plate, flush with
the siding on the gable. The block will extend 3/8" past the corner trim on the end wall. Use
6d galv. nails.

Cut an 8' long 1x4 trim board to fit between
the soffit board and the bottom of the siding.
Install 1x4 trim board flush with the trim
board on the end wall. Do not extend 3/8"
past end wall trim. Use 6d galv. nails spaced
12" apart.
7.
Repeat to install corner trim on the other
corners.
3.
Install (3) three 65" long soffit boards.
If necessary, cut and install a 2x4 between
the wall studs where the soffit boards butt
together. Install the 2x4 block 4" below
the top wall plate. See detail 'G'

Cut to fit and install (2) two 4' long soffit
boards to finish.
