INSTALL HOUSE WRAP ON A SHED

Increase the life of your shed by installing house wrap to protect it. I'll show you how!

WHAT IS HOUSE WRAP?

House wrap is a material used under vinyl siding. It helps prevent moisture from getting onto your wood walls under the siding. This stops the siding from decaying or molding.  Rain water CAN get under your vinyl siding so it’s important to have the extra protection.  Be sure to install the house wrap with the writing facing out as that is the side meant to repel moisture.

STEP 1.

Install the bottom layer of your house wrap first. We worked around the door for Row 1 and Row 3.

STEP 2.

Work your way up, layering the sections so the top overlaps the bottom. Add tape along seams.

STEP 3.

Continue adding the house wrap until the shed is covered. We started adding our vinyl next!
