to resist lateral loads—refer to the screw manufacturer for requirements.
4. Do not over drive the fasteners. Seating them below the surface of the siding
reduces their holding power and creates an entryway for moisture. Do not place
fasteners in the center, unsupported area of the siding.
5. If you are hand nailing or using screws, it may be necessary to predrill to help
prevent the corners from breaking.
6. Fasten from one end of the panel to the other.
