1x4 Trim
Step 17
Set Rear and Front Gables
WARNING: The gable ends are heavy
and awkward. You'll need helpers to lift
and set gables in place.
1.
Install the rear gable on the rear wall. The
siding on the gable must extend over the 1x4
trim board, not behind it. See detail 'D' below.
Nail bottom gable to loft flooring. Use 10d
sinker nails spaced evenly in stud openings.
2.
Install (2) two 61" long 1x4 gable trim flush with the top edge of the gable. Install the
ends with blue marks together. Install trim with 8d galvanized nails spaced 12" apart.
3.
Install (2) two 42-1/2" long 1x4 gable trim
flush with the side edge of the gable.
4.
Install the front gable. Do Not apply trim.
