How NOT to install Metal Siding- PRO tips & Everything you need to know from start to finish pt1 4k

What happens here

Attach horizontal strips of the salvaged old lap siding onto the existing felt board sheathing. These strips will serve as 'nailers' or furring strips, providing solid anchor points for the new metal siding. Fasten these strips securely every two feet using a drill and screws. This creates a flat and stable surface for the new vertical metal siding panels. If possible, avoid stretching the house wrap during installation to maintain its integrity.

Goal: Create a secure and flat substrate for the new metal siding.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Drilling and fastening screws
  • Old Lap Siding — Creating horizontal furring strips or nailers
  • Screws — Securing the furring strips to the sheathing
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the spacing for furring strips
