88 Like conventional wood-shingle siding, HardieShingle® siding requires the use of a starter strip and a starter course before installing the first full course of shingle panels or individual shingles. The starter strip sets the initial shingles at the proper angle and the starter course provides solid backing and keyway coverage for the first shingle course. 1) The starter strip should be installed over the water-resistive barrier. Starter strips can be made by ripping 11/4-in. lengths from full or partial planks of HardiePlank® siding. 2) Use HardiePlank 81/4-in. or 91/4-in. lap siding for...

Where the panel begins at a corner board or at door or window casings, cut the upper portion of the panel back even with the edge of the keyway. 4) Where the siding...
