Good morning Sir, that is a very good idea about these two screws on the bottom and yes nice handy tools that nail gun !!! That Shed is very strong !!!! Cheers !!!
Hi. Thank you for this video - very helpful and informative. I like your hack, although I don't have any metal tubing available. I'm going to use this idea, but use pieces of wood below instead of the tubing. Hopefully that will work.
Great hack using the small metal tubes! Small and quick and easy so put on and take off to move onto the next sheet you have to put up. Shed is looking great Buddy! Thanks
How's she goin'? That air nailer is a sweet tool to have. The pins are a cool idea too. It let's you slide the panel from side to side pretty easy. Those smart panels are great. I have used them before and they rock!! Thanks of rosting Steve. Your shed is looking good!!!
Square up your building with long ratchet straps before installing. (The wind can shift it while/after its framed). Use 2x4 scraps screwed to the inside wall studs then they arent in the way when installing the siding on the outside.
I’d assume your studs were 16” OC, why are the nails outside of the recessed groove? I’m trying to do the siding in my detached garage, not being a construction guy I have the same issue despite my studs measuring 16” OC. I guess it is acceptable to have the nails where ever the stud lands, but it’s triggering my OCD for sure. I have 3/4” plywood sheathing over the top and am using the same product.
Michael the siding groves are not intended to be a specific place to put the nails . After you paint it you can't see the nail heads from 20 feet away . I always cap every nail head if it was driven in too far as I use a nail gun and use latex caulking and a puddy knife to smooth it out as instructed by the manufacturer. Cheers 👍
Quite similar but in 4x8 sheets. It's hard to cut but lasts forever . I have it on the far side of my shop , been there 20 years and still looks like new.
I watched another UA-cam video, the installer applied liquid nail adhesive between the studs and the siding panels. Extra step to prevent the nails popping out in the future. Really enjoyed watching your videos.
Jay this is actually called a panel nailer , the only one I could find that could drive 1-1/2 to 3 inch nails. It works flawlessly and 300 nails in 1-1/2 coils is long lasting. Love it 👍
How long is your studs? I ask because if they are 92 5/8" you cannot run the siding from the top plate and overhang the paneling as far down as you did.
Thank you for this helpful video! Question, what are the round metal pieces exactly? Where did you find those? Please respond, I'm installing some of this exact siding later today and tomorrow. Any info would be much appreciated!
@@SteveRobReviews not cheating, thinking smarter, and not working harder. Just bought the siding actually, to go over my zip, and it def is lighter then the zip 🙂
Why didn’t you put the siding while on the wall while it was laying down? You could have finish painted the siding wall with a roller then stood the wall in place. I’m 75 and could have stood those walls by myself. In fact I did. Recently built my own 10x12 shed.
I have been using it for years and it holds up well. I wish you could buy it painted not just primed . With paint I figure its about $65 a sheet up here.
@@SteveRobReviews yes but if you use T1 11 prime and paint the whole sheet preferable with spray paint backrolled since there are hundreds of exposed edges especially in grooves.
Excellent video and great tip! I'm getting ready to build a shed. Lumber, etc. is so expensive, I'm considering to use the LP Smartboard without sheathing (no OSB or plywood underneath). I suppose one would not build a house without sheathing, but for a shed, it seems reasonable. I'm located in Missouri where we get extreme heat and cold and sometimes high winds, but I'm not concerned about insulating my shed I just want it to be strong. I'm wondering if you could please say... what part of the country this is in (do you get high winds) and if you are happy with the result of not using sheathing?

Glad it was helpful!
I've used that siding before it works pretty good I like your idea with the screw and tubing whining it up on the bottom that's pretty cool
James it's so difficult working by yourself so it's time to improvise. Cheers
Great hack using the small metal tubes! Small and quick and easy so put on and take off to move onto the next sheet you have to put up. Shed is looking great Buddy! Thanks
Thanks Doug 👍
When i get to my forever home, i am going to use these videos to basiclly do everything.
Fantastic , sounds like your Kentucky bound , my favorite state. 👍
Great tip on holding that siding up Steve! I'm sure that your building will look great when you're done :)
Thanks Terry. Fancy electrical work next and preparing for the comments . 😂😂
@@SteveRobReviews Ahh, I'm sure the electrical will be fine Steve! :))
I bet the YT experts will point out any discrepancies 😂
@@SteveRobReviews Oh, I'm sure there will be quite a few of them for sure. Not from my end though :)
Those are some great tips to make it much easier for one person
Thanks buddy.
Genius tip!
Thanks buddy.
Your a smart guy Steve. When you work alone you have to come up with stuff to help your work or progress is impossible.
Yes and I prefer to work alone because working with other people just slow me down too much. LOL

Thanks Mike the air nailer sure makes things a lot easier.
Steve rob wow man your on top of things for sure my friend
Thanks Grant , on top is a good thing eh :)
@@SteveRobReviews usually best 😁🤜🤛
That is a very cool hack for holding the siding.
Thanks 👍

Smart looking siding and top tips 👍
Thanks Jonathan much appreciated.
Great video! $58 CAD here in Ontario Canada now.
Thanks 👍
In B.C. Canada, one sheet is $62. 15 sheets it's almost a thousand bucks! Yikes the WEF/NWO plan is working too well.
Those dowel pins are a great great idea!!!!! Looking good mate!
Thanks Victor and great for a slide guitar too 😂😂
@@SteveRobReviews Now we're talking LOL!!!!!
They work in wood but for a slab I use 2×4 blocks to support the sheet off the ground.

@@SteveRobReviews well thanks man. I feel like an idiot. I seriously was driving my self nuts trying to understand why it didn’t line up.
Super helpful, most of my projects solo, thank you
Thanks Greg , I like working alone too , less arguments 😅😅
If using on a carport wall or ceiling would you recommend a moisture barrier? Also, do you trim the bottom or top?
Sure if you like but I am not heating the shed so I didn't use any. Cheers Jordyn
Nice tip bro
Thanks Wally.
Good idea Steve. Is the siding some type of Hardi board?
Quite similar but in 4x8 sheets. It's hard to cut but lasts forever . I have it on the far side of my shop , been there 20 years and still looks like new.
Good stuff. That is a smart work around.
Thanks Fernbark .
Darn it Steve , this series is so spread out that I had to go back and watch them all again before looking at the new one 😬
Hi Keith it's all there in one playlist but yes it's as scrambled as I am. LOL
That's the same siding I used on my shed. About 2011 it was 21.00 a sheat but holds up great.
Great stuff and long wearing. 👍
I watched another UA-cam video, the installer applied liquid nail adhesive between the studs and the siding panels. Extra step to prevent the nails popping out in the future. Really enjoyed watching your videos.
Thanks , much appreciated !!!
Looking great buddy! That's going to be a very fancy shed! ☺️
It sure is a dooooozie eh :)
Itsnotimpossible!! SuuperSteve did it!! :-D Cheers, SunMoonandStarSupershine! :-P
Really like your showing the little nails in the end :)))
Thanks Simone
Nice hack Steve! How do you like the Bostitch nailer? I'm thinking about getting one :D
Jay this is actually called a panel nailer , the only one I could find that could drive 1-1/2 to 3 inch nails. It works flawlessly and 300 nails in 1-1/2 coils is long lasting. Love it 👍
@@SteveRobReviews I'm looking at a Bostitch coil siding nailer (N66C) to do cement board siding.
N75C is the one I got to do siding and framing . I needed to go down to 1-1/2 inch nails. Yes siding nailers do both siding and framing.
Good tip
Thanks Daniel !!!
Was that a deck screw in the pin? Don't put em in to deep! You always think thinks out, nice job Steve! Looking good!
Yes a deck screw :) Thanks bud.
@@SteveRobReviews Awesome!
Going to be a nice building !!
Thanks Norm , its a nice and easy project close to home for a change.
Worked out great mate... the nailer will come handy for sure, how many nails did you need for one panel ? 👍👍👍
Thanks about 24 nails to a sheet. The gun holds a roll of 300.
How long is your studs? I ask because if they are 92 5/8" you cannot run the siding from the top plate and overhang the paneling as far down as you did.
8 ft studs .
I wonder that to cause I just put a couple sheets up and my top is exposed. Makes no sense how he ran down the bottom and the top was still covered
Thanks for the tips
Thanks 👍
Thank you for this helpful video! Question, what are the round metal pieces exactly? Where did you find those? Please respond, I'm installing some of this exact siding later today and tomorrow. Any info would be much appreciated!
Thanks , the round pieces are just some scrap tubing I had on hand . Cheers
Thank you
👍
Tell me about the tubing please. What type is it and where to get it? Thanks!
Just a scrap peice of metal tubing I had .
Aren't you clever! Amazing ! Simple ! I would be struggling that panel for 30 min!
Na after a couple of tries you would have figured it out. Your pretty smart Annie....
nice trick to hold up your siding, but I just use my kabota with the forks :-) Holds the sheet up right where I need it.
That's cheating 🤣😅
@@SteveRobReviews not cheating, thinking smarter, and not working harder. Just bought the siding actually, to go over my zip, and it def is lighter then the zip 🙂

I prefer doing it this way. Cheers 👍
the info is great if you are repairing a section of a structure with a new sheet or changing the layout of your shed
I prefer to install while the frame is up too.
My dad would have said: "I don't need bracing like that. Thats what the kids are for." 😂
LOL Well it seems the wood we have twists real easy in the blazin hot 80 F sun.
Are you using siding nails? Thanks!
Yes siding , galvanized nails .
Nice!
Cheers Billy.
That is the stuff the Amish use on many of the "fancy" sheds they build here. Stuff seems to hold up to the weather very well. $35 a sheet here now.
I have been using it for years and it holds up well. I wish you could buy it painted not just primed . With paint I figure its about $65 a sheet up here.
The clown in the back kind of distracted me...and how he looks at my shoulder lol. But great vid!
😅😅 Thanks 👍
Hey, you got a sub out of me for sure. 😂
Could you nail with 16 gauge nails ?
I wouldn't use 16 gauge. Too small.
I'm watching but I keep looking at the gum!
LOL
No OSB sheeting first? Just siding? Well, what do I know about toolsheds?!.... 😂
Na just another expense and no house wrap either , it's only a shed , not anything engineered eh . LOL
I don't use OSB products for anything. For siding use cement board like Hardie board with plywood under it
It a personal choice with cost as a factor and a skill set one has. Cheers 👍
@@SteveRobReviews yes but if you use T1 11 prime and paint the whole sheet preferable with spray paint backrolled since there are hundreds of exposed edges especially in grooves.
Plywood will warp in under 10 years

It's good you are avoiding osb, most people don't realize how bad the formaldahyde and other voc chemicals are bad for human health.
$47 a sheet
