91 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...

92 For HardieShingle® panels start at one end and work across the wall. 1) Measure and trim the first panel to make sure the end of the panel falls over framing. 2) Using the chalk line as a guide along the panel top edge, carefully position the panels and secure with suitable fasteners and spacing for your particular application as noted in the NER-405. 3) Align the bottom edges of the trim and the siding for the best appearance. 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...

93 Half-round shingles are often used for a decorative note above regular shingles, especially in gables. 1) Start the first course from the middle of the run so that half round sections at either end are cut equally. 2) Then start the second course from the trim at one end and cut it so that it lands on the framing one stud away from the course below. 3) Cut the panel to abut the trim at the other end of the course. Make sure keyways are located over the midpoints of the half rounds in the lower course for correct alignment. 4) At the top of the wall, install a frieze board and install shingles...

94 3) Divide the total height of the gable by 7. (Half round shingles have an exposure of 7 in. and this figure is the number of courses to be installed. 4) If the answer is an even number (example: 70 in. divided by 7 = 10 courses), center the first panel course on a keyway on the vertical center line (fig. 9.7). If the answer is an odd number, (example: 77 in. divided by 7 = 11 courses) center the first course on the center of a half-round shingle (fig. 9.8). 5) Using this planning method, the final piece at the peak should be a centered shingle. To install the first course of half-round panel...
