SIDINGS - NO DROP SYSTEM®

NO DROP SYSTEM®

 

The Dodge Hanger Bottom® (DHB) is part of a no drop system that is designed to install the starter row of the siding even or flush with the bottom of the sheathing.

We recommend you use the DHB to hang your siding if you have already dropped your sheathing below the mudsill with a DHTL or a DHR.

Select the DHB with a saddle width that matches the thickness of the siding material to be installed.
