Title: Successful stickering with Lap Siding
Post by: jpgreen on September 14, 2007, 11:31:35 AM
I'm redoing the siding on a fixer house we just bought with 10" tapered lap siding, and I've got to mill up about 1500' b.f.

I figured out a way to sticker these. The only thing I could come up with is stickering each board individually and laying the tapers in opposite positions as you go up like pictured.

Once you are up 4 high, or 8, etc., multiples of 4 (actually 2) then you have a flat base again and you can use one long sticker to go across the whole stack width.

Really not to much trouble, and it does work well..  8)

That is a great way to do that, especially doing it so you can get a long sticker in every few rows to keep the pile stable. Thanks for posting the pics.
