If any plywood is removed, check the insulation behind this plywood and replace any that is damaged with new insulation. Roll out the moisture barrier or tar paper on the ground and cut to length with your utility knife. Make sure you start from the bottom of wall and work your way up and overlap the moisture barrier a couple inches each time. This will keep wind and water out of the wall cavities.
A starter plank must be cut to ensure a clean outward-facing edge. To do this, mark one tongue and groove exterior plank to the necessary length and run it through the table saw with its groove facing the blade.
Once the groove is cut from the plank, a smooth, clean edge is created, resulting in a more finished look. Measure, mark and cut each tongue and groove exterior plank to size based on the pitch of the roof and the bottom edge of the wall.
This also saves on time and gives you a much cleaner look. As the vertical planks come into contact with doors and windows, cut each plank to size for a proper fit on top of required flashing. Continue installation from left to right, securing planks in place using the same method as above. Fit planks together and attach using the same method as with other planks. To give a clean finished look you can fill the nail holes with wood filler before you apply your sealer. Wipe surface of wood using damp cloth and allow to dry.
Next, caulk where the vertical planks meet the brick. No account yet? Create an account. Edit this Article. We use cookies to make wikiHow great. By using our site, you agree to our cookie policy.

Install horizontal siding, such as aluminum or vinyl by hanging the underlayment and installing the trim.
Save some time and energy by using a pneumatic siding gun. This way, you don't have to hammer every nail by hand. Add the corner posts, using two nails in the upper slots to suspend them.
If you use more than one piece to complete a corner, be sure that there is an overlap of 1 inch 2. Place the footer, which is the piece of trim that is at the bottom of each exterior wall, as starter strip of siding will slide into this.
Apply a strip of F-channel trim at the top of the exterior walls, under the eaves. The top sheets of siding will slide under this piece. Install your starter sheet. Slide the bottom of the siding into the footer, being sure to allow for expansion. You should be able to wiggle the siding slightly. Slide the ends under the corner posts in the same manner. Affix the siding to the wall by centering a nail in each section of the nail strip. Don't pound the nails in all the way.
Proceed up the wall, interlocking the bottom of each sheet with the top of the previous sheets. Be sure to overlap successive panels by 1 inch 2. Trim the siding panels using a circular saw to meet windows, doors, and corners. Use gutter-seal adhesive to finish the installation at window sills and eaves. Install the top panel by trimming the unneeded portion from the top of the sheet.
Lock it into place at the top of the preceding panel, and slide it under the F-channel. Install vertical siding by first locating the mid-point of the wall. Draw a vertically level line at this position using a straightedge. Hang this panel by placing a nail at the top of each nail strip, at about 8 inch Don't attach the nails too tightly! If you do this, the vinyl might crack when it goes to expand and contract. Then, you'll start to see vinyl siding falling off or buckling in certain spots.
You can also install nails at 16 in 41 cm intervals. Moving from the center out, interlock each strip with the previous one, continuing to place the nails at 8 inch Install a J-channel on the post when you reach a corner. The edges will insert between the J-channel and the outer flange of the post. Add panels around the doors and windows in the same manner as in Step 6. Proceed with the following steps for installing wood siding. The primary difference between this application and the others, is that the vertical corner boards will be installed last.
Install trim boards to surround windows and doors. Add metal flashing to control water flow. Cut the boards to length, making sure that the joints meet over a stud. Make sure that each plank is cut square to avoid any gaps. Be sure to prime the sheets of siding on both sides and at the edges.
