Step 1
Measure each side of your shed between trim boards with a tape measure and make a note of all the measurements.
Step 2
Lay the cedar siding with the back side flat against the table of a miter saw. The top edge should be flush against the saw fence. Measure, mark and cut the siding to length based on the measurements taken. Cut as many boards as needed for each side of the shed as you install them on the shed.
Step 3
Start at the bottom of each side and work your way up the wall to the top. Place the bottom board against the shed framing. Hammer a ring shank nail through the front face of the siding into each wall stud along the length of the board. Position the nails midway down from the top edge of the siding.
Step 4
Overlap the second and following boards on each side of the shed by at least 1 inch to provide a 4-to-6-inch reveal on the bottom of each siding board. Hammer a ring shank nail through the siding boards into the framing studs just above where the top edge of the siding board below it is. Continue installing boards in this manner until the shed is completed.
