INSTALLATION STEPS STEP ONE Install the starter strip at the lowest point of the structure. The structure’s solid substrate must be no less than 7/16” thick. The end of the starter strip should be positioned flush with the wall corner. Nail the starter strip every 12”. Make sure the starter strip remains level. Figure 1 STEP TWO If using vinyl corner posts, install the post prior to installing any panels.

The panel requires a minimum of six (6) fasteners per panel (figure 4). For high velocity wind areas, a fastener is required in each nailing slot.

INSTALLING STONE LEDGE TRIM Stone ledge trim installs over the top course of panels BENDING LEDGE TRIM Stone ledge trim can be installed around a corner. Because of the different shape of the ledge trim, a vnotch must first be cut at the point where you plan on bending it (Figure #12). Once the v-notch has been cut, the trim may be heat-bent and installed.
