Step 3 Apply Siding and Trim to Roof Gables
1. Remove 2x4 blocks and turn the gable frame over.
2. Install pre-cut siding on rear gable. Bottom of siding extends 3/4" below the gable plate.
Use 6d galv. nails spaced 12" apart.
3. 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 6d galv. nails.
Note: Gable siding may need to be applied
from right to left on one of the gables so the
'LAP' edge will lap over the 'Tongue' edge
on the adjoining siding panel.
4. Install (2) two 42-1/2" long
1x4 gable trim flush with the
side edge of the gable.
5. Install trim on the front gable.

panel. Apply wood glue between OSB and boards. Nail header together with
10d sinkers. Use (12) twelve nails on each side.
Butt (2) two 68-1/2" boards together. Center a 2x4-6' board (used as door spacer) on top and screw
