Second course
Cut 29" off of the right side of the D9 panel at indicator
“B,” which is located above the nail slots, cutting straight
through the panel. Drill a 3/16" hole in the center of the nail
hem and nail the siding through this hole to control the
direction of expansion and contraction. Another option is to
nail each end of a nail slot located at the center of the panel.
Set the spacing using the PanelThermometer and temperature
indicator lines and install the panel as described earlier.
Continue to stagger panel courses, alternating each time to
ensure a random shingle pattern up the wall.
Installing under a window or opening
Install Restoration Shapes undersill trim. Cut the panel to fit
under the window. Drill a 3/16" hole in the center of the nail
hem. Using a snap lock punch, raise tab faces on the outside
of the panel 1/4" from the trimmed edge, 6" apart. Lock the
panel into the previous course, and center nail the siding
through the 3/16" hole drilled earlier. (Center nailing controls
the direction of the panel’s expansion and contraction.) Lock
the panel into place.
Installing over a window or opening
Cut the panel to fit over the window by measuring from the
locking tab of the previous row to the bottom of the receiving
pocket. Add 1/8" to this measurement. Turn the panel over
and, using this measurement, measure from the bottom of the
return leg.
Cut the panel to this dimension. Install the cut panel by
positioning the panel over the window and into the receiving
pocket. Lock the cut panel into the previous course by
pushing in and up. The cut edge should be 1/4" below the top
of the receiving pocket.
