Soffit comes in a width of 12 inches. This soffit is only 8 inches wide. So, you would have to cut off the nailing flange. So, it would not be very secure. I have never seen it done that way, I have only seen it done the way I showed.
@@doityourselfdenniscom thank you for the reply. The one I got from Lowe's is about 13.5 inch wide and like 11 ft long... I was wondering bc like you mentioned I have only seen it on RUclips the way you put it up and not the way I put it up lol I just wanted to make sure I didn't do it wrong, and if I did, I'll fix it since I only put one piece... I'm curious to see how you finished the soffit with the J-channel.
@@gianelpibe The finished part of the soffit you bought at Lowes should only be 12 inches wide, then when you add the nailing flange on that would make it the 13.5 inches. If you do it the way I show, the J-Channel will just butt up against the soffit after the soffit has been hung.
NOT the correct way to put up soffit! J channel is placed first...then soffit placed in it and etc. This video is a perfect example of what NOT to do to put on soffit.👎
This is just another opinion. Say someone does it your way. Then you have to put up more j channel to accept the siding. Why use two pieces of j channel? The way I do it is better.
Good video
Thank you.
Start at the peak and work your way down both sides. You're eyes are drawn to the peak where the panels will be even.
That would be good too.
you still lock them into each other at the peak, correct?
Interest to see the j-channel... Why not install the soffit the long way?

should have used a piece of starter strip...!
Not a bad Idea, ust wasn't taught that way.
I've always put my j channel 0n first
I like to put my soffit on first and butt my j channel up against the soffit.
Lmao what the fuck you don’t even any soffit jay channel on there

This way is also more resistant to wind and animals
Why no f channel?
Because there will be j channel will be butting up against the soffit, therefore f channel is not needed. Hope this helped.
