Step 35 Install 1x6 Fascia Boards on Lower Soffit
1.
Install a 73" long 1x6 fascia board over
the front soffit box. Install 1x6 against
the bottom of the roof sheathing, flush
with the siding on the roof gables.
Use 8d galvanized box nails spaced to
catch the 2x4 blocks behind.
2.
Install (2) two more 1x6-73" fascia
boards.
3.
Repeat to install fascia on the back
soffit boxes.
1.
Cut (2) two 72" long 1x4 boards to
length and install across the bottom
of the dormer rafters (see Step 38 for
larger detail). Use 8d galv. box nails.
2.
Install (3) three 33-3/4" high siding
panels on the front and back dormer
walls using 8d galvanized box nails
spaced 8" apart. Important: Paint
the bottom edge of the siding.
Step 36 Install Dormer Siding
1.
Install roof paper over the roof sheathing. Fold
the roof covering so it also cover the sheathing
on the dormer front and sides.
2.
Install (2) two 78" long pieces of metal flashing
over the dormer. Extend the flashing 2" beyond
the front sheathing. Cut the flashing to extend
around the dormer. Tack in place across the top
using 6d common nails.
3.
Install flashing on the back dormer.
Install Roof Covering and Dormer Flashing - Owner Supplied
If you purchased our optional pre-cut metal roof package, follow the instructions
included with that kit for the rest of the construction process. If you purchased a
different metal roof system, follow the manufacture's installation instructions and
special assembly instructions as noted in the following steps.
IMPORTANT: Flashing must be installed before applying the dormer siding. Apply
flashing prior to installing shingles, or after metal roof panels are installed.
