Off-stud Joiners
NOTE: Do not fasten the off-stud joiner to the wall.
Laced (Prairie-Style) Corners
Laced or prairie-style corners, which are frequently used on single-story homes,
emphasize the horizontal lines of the siding. Laced corners are created by mating each
successive course of siding with its counterpart on the adjoining wall. Traditionally, this
involved fitting each course of siding, marking the overlap, and removing the marked
piece to make the sloped cut corresponding to the bevel of the opposite course. The
end of every other piece of siding is left exposed, so the panel must be carefully sealed
to prevent it from absorbing moisture. Note that accurate coursing is essential, because
there’s no intervening corner board to conceal any slight irregularities in alignment.
