Installation/Mounting theDish 47
Lap sided walls are made up of many narrow boards stacked horizontally up the wall.
Each board is lapped by the board above it. Usually, all the boards on one wall are the
same width; however, the width of lap siding material can vary from 4 to 10 inches.
Therefore, it is possible for one wall to use 5" boards and another wall to use 7" boards.
This can make finding alocation on the wall wide enough for the mounting foot difficult.
Another characteristic of lap sided walls is the siding style. Depending on this style,
the wall surface is either flat or uneven. If the surface is uneven, each board's surface
is not parallel to the vertical plane of the wall. Several common siding styles are drop,
rustic, rabbetted, bevel (also called taper), and clapboard. The wall surfaces with drop
and rustic siding styles are relatively fiat. Rabbetted, bevel, and clapboard styles have
uneven wall surfaces. Installing the dish on a wall with rustic and drop styles of siding
is the same as installing it on panel siding. If you are installing the DSS dish on one of
these siding styles, see the panel siding explanation in this manual. When installing
the system on clapboard, bevel, and rabbetted styles of siding, the mounting process
must change slightly.
