Step 8B
Apply Front Wall Siding (Twin Window on Left)
1. Select the wall frame with the twin window openings 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 windows. 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. Install another siding panel.
4. 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.

6. Butt the remaining window wall frame against the 8' center wall. Do Not nail these frames
together so they can be separated later.
7. Square the wall frame. Install a siding panel but Do Not nail along the long edge that
overlaps the 8' wall panel. You can nail this edge after the wall panels are installed. Cut
out siding from the window opening.
8. Install the last siding panel, it will extend 3-1/2"
past the end of the wall frame.
