   hank .. the max exposure is at the arc of the circumference of the fan...
   so if you're using 1/2 x 6 claps the max is 4 inch..

   that sets the outside spacing..

   and the arc of the circumference of the casing of the half-round window divided by the number of claps sets the inside spacing...

   the top ray is a clap ripped from 4 inch tapered to the same as the other inner radius exposures...

   as in nailing any claps.. nails should only go thru one clap.. never thru the one below.. so they can move without splitting...

   *Mike: In your spare time could you find a nice one around you there and post a photo? I like these, but see a lot that don't look quite right. Be OK if it takes a couple years to get to it.

   Does the pitch of the roof come into play? The roof line cuts through the outer arc, so does that effect the outer exposure? Or am I making this harder than it needs to be?

   hank ... the arc is a part of the circle at it's furthest point... so up near the peak is probably the greatest arc that the roof intersects.

   . naturally .. that is the circumference at which the exposure is set.. all of the claps would extend to this arc line if the roof didn't cut them off...

   lonecat....i've seen very few that i liked..

   when i see some i do .. i'll try to get a pic. of 'em.

   nice thing about RI.. you're driving down some quiet little street and out of nowhere, you see great examples of fantastic design and wormanship...

   gotta park that camera right on the front seat...

   I need to know the proper way to fan clapboards on a gable. I can figure it out with geometry, but there must be a rule of thumb method for doing this. By the way, there is a round top window in the center.
