D. Fold the water resistive barrier. Fold side flaps into the
opening and staple to the inside wall. Fold the top flap up
and temporarily fasten with flashing tape.
E. Apply sill flashing tape #1. Cut a piece of flashing tape 12"
longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the
opening as shown so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.
Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width of the
opening so it will extend up each side approximately 6".
F. Tab the sill flashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at each
corner (1/2" from each side of corner). Fold tape to the exterior
and press firmly to adhere it to the water resistive barrier.
G. Apply sill flashing tape #2. Cut a piece of flashing tape
12" longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom,
overlapping tape #1 by at least 1". DO NOT allow the tape to
extend past the interior face of the frame.
Note: The flashing tape does not need to
extend all the way to the interior of the
framing.

wood blocking to the exterior of the sill
structure to support the edge of the door
sill. The sill support should be cut the entire
length of the sill member and placed flush
with the subfloor.
