HOW TO INSTALL VINYL SIDING

This is a simple video of how to install vinyl siding. I know some steps are not exactly perfect but this is what I did to complete the siding on my garage and it's still in good shape.
Here are some corrections that should have been done for longevity of the siding installation.
Overlaps on the seams are a little to tight. There should be about 1 inch between the top lock separation. The siding usually will expand almost a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch on a full panel.
I hope this video is helpful for you and thank you so much for watching.!

    Thank you for explaining how to overlap the vinyl correctly. Having not done this before, it never would have occurred to me that the seams aren't visible when viewed from one angle versus another.

  • @AverageGuyDIY

    @AverageGuyDIY

    4 ай бұрын

    Yes that's the idea. It will happen automatically, just take full pieces of siding and mount them to the wall until the last one. The last one will most likely be too long so you will need to cut it. Use the cut piece to continue the wall by taking it back to the original starting place (above the fist piece you placed). This will create the pattern.

    It's like a puzzle as you go up to the top you must cut the pieces to shape. Same with around the windows and any other protruding objects. And actually I had a shed and we didn't use any Tyvek wrap at all. I just nailed the siding right to it. Honestly it just really depends on how you want to do it. Tyvek wrap however is always best for new construction to maintain the longevity of the structure.

  • @AverageGuyDIY

    @AverageGuyDIY

    10 ай бұрын

    The only time I've heard of that is when the siding was nailed to firm to the structure. You must leave room when nailing so that the siding has room to expand and contract because of heating and cooling.
