Installing Shiplap Siding & Channel Rustic
Lap sidings can be installed horizontally or vertically. For horizontal applications, start with the bottom course and work up with channels pointing upwards. Allow a 1/8 in. expansion gap between pieces if the siding is air-or-kiln-dried. Do not nail through overlaps. For siding up to 6 inches wide, use one nail one inch up from the lap. Face nail with two nails per bearing for 8 inch patterns and wider, keeping nails 2-1/2 to 3 inches apart to allow for dimensional movement without splitting. For vertical applications, siding should be nailed to horizontal blocking lines or furring strips.
