Generated explanation

The illustration shows five ways to finish corners in horizontal wood lap siding over sheathing and stud framing. One outside corner uses mitered siding ends secured with miter nails, while two others use different arrangements of vertical outside corner boards. A fourth outside corner uses individual metal corner pieces at each siding course. The inside corner detail shows siding on both walls terminating against a vertical corner post. These are alternative construction details; no defects are indicated.
