Start by cutting off a few inches of the j channel portion on the post. Gap at the top where the post will meet the eaves. If vinyl soffit is to be installed allow proper distances which vary according to the accessory used below the underside of the eaves.

The fit is tight and it is not easy to get the top piece over the bottom piece. This can result in the vinyl splitting and cracking. Step 2 set up the cut. Mice bees and all sorts of other critters love making their home inside vinyl corner posts.

The only cut you should make on the corner is at the nailing flange. Measure the height of the porch post from floor to ceiling and subtract 1 4 inch. Make a diagonal cut in the corner of the fabric toward an inside corner of the cushion stopping about 1 inch from the cushion. The way to allow for this expansion is to install the corner post down from the soffit or top of the corner.

Expansionwhen the temperature changes vinyl siding expands and contracts. Remove 1 of nailing flanges from the bottom of the top piece. Each corner should be hung straight so drop a plumb line for each corner post. Step 2 make two diagonal cuts 1 2 inch long from the first cut to finish the y cut in the fabric.

In order to prevent this from happening you have to keep the pieces steady. Vinyl fencing is often hollow making cutting it difficult when using a circular saw regardless of the teeth on the blade. As the teeth bite in to the vinyl they cause it to shake and vibrate. Hammer the first nail into the nailing slot.

Fold back the remaining flaps and gently tap a crease into them with your hammer.
