Installing Cedar Impressions on

Non-vertical Walls

Cedar Impressions must never be used as a roofing material. However, the panels can be used on non-vertical applications that meet the following conditions:

The non-vertical wall must be decorative and not functional.

The non-vertical wall must not be greater than 20° off the vertical (no less than a 70° angle).

The top of the wall cannot be higher than 30' above grade. Because of different wind-load requirements, your local building code may stipulate a lower height. Use the lesser of the two heights.

Before you install Cedar Impressions on a non-vertical wall, install a non-binding, self-adhering underlayment or waterproofing membrane. Cap the uppermost edge of the top course of siding to prevent water from getting behind the siding. Flash all accessories to shed water away from the substrate. Siding alone is not meant to be a watertight barrier.
