Step 8A
Apply Front Wall Siding (Twin Window on Right)
Decide where you want the twin windows located; on the right, see cover photo, or
on the left end of the building. To place the twin window located to the right follow
the instructions below. If you want the twin window on the left go to Step 8B.
1. Select the wall frame with the single window opening and butt it against the center wall frame.
Do Not fasten the frames together so they can be separated after the siding is applied. This
will make setting the walls easier and assures the siding matches where the walls meet.
2. Install the window. Install a siding panel with the LAP edge extending 3-1/2" past the left
end of the wall frame using 8d galvanized box nails spaced 8" apart. Cut siding around window
and install siding panel.
3. Install (2) two siding panels on the center wall
frame. Do Not nail along the edge that joins the
left wall panel so the wall can be separated.
4. Cut out for the door opening.

past the end of the wall frame. Cut out siding in
