How to Work with Wall Panels

Pay careful attention to the panel layout we sent you. In some places you’ll have to use ‘scraps’ from one panel to piece in another location. Don’t throw any panel pieces away until you’re done, and be careful to keep the panel pieces covered and dry. See Figure 12 for piecing panels.

Important: Don’t throw any panel pieces away until you’re all done! Keep your panel pieces covered and dry. You might need them in another place on your frame.

In places you might need to apply panels horizontally. This works just as well as vertical paneling. See Figure 13 and Figure 31 for examples of this.
