How NOT to install Metal Siding- PRO Tips & Everything you need to know from start to finish pt2 4 k
What happens here
Begin installing the vertical metal siding panels. Starting from a corner or designated edge, align the first panel with the previously installed trim. Overlap subsequent panels according to the manufacturer's specifications. Secure each panel to the building's studs using color-matched screws, typically driven through the flat sections of the panel, not the ribs, to prevent water infiltration. For upper sections and gable ends, use scaffolding or ladders for safe access.
Goal: Cover the building walls with metal siding.
