How NOT to install Metal Siding- PRO tips & Everything you need to know from start to finish pt1 4k
What happens here
Examine the existing sheathing, noting that the garage has plywood on the corners and a brown felt board (Graylite) in the main wall sections. The felt board is not suitable for directly attaching new metal siding, as it will not hold screws securely. Therefore, furring strips (also known as nailers) will be required. The decision is made to reuse the removed old lap siding as these furring strips.
Goal: Determine the condition of the existing sheathing and plan for adding furring strips.
Tools and materials
- Felt Board — Existing sheathing material that requires additional furring strips for secure attachment
- Plywood — Existing sheathing material, suitable for direct attachment in corners
