Caulking Detail for Standard (Non-Laminated) Sheets
To keep out moisture from overlapping the sheets, it is necessary to apply caulk to each sheet prior to
installing.
NOTE: Always assemble the sidewall sheets with the overlap in the same direction.
• Apply a strip of caulk near the outside edge of the outer sheet and between the outer two rows of
bolts (A), then apply a strip of caulk 10 in. (25.4 cm) long along the horizontal seams (B), as shown in
the figure below.
