What happens here

Measure the required length for each vertical metal siding panel. The panels should extend from the bottom edge of the wall to the J-channel installed at the top. For accurate installation, snap a chalk line at the appropriate height for screw placement on each panel. This ensures consistent alignment. Also, prepare specialized screws that match the color of your metal siding and have integrated washers to create a watertight seal when fastened.

Goal: Precisely cut and mark metal siding panels for vertical installation.
