Abstract: A corrosion-resistant, metal building construction connective hardware for installing wall sheathing, roof sheathing, or siding to a structure with a resting mount (24) of sufficient depth to fit the material being hung and a holding lip (26) that forms a front edge that can be imprinted for identification and verification purposes. The lip is easily painted or stained to match the exterior finish. The invention is versatile and multiple pieces can be connected to the mudsill to install sheathing; to the bottom edge of sheathing to install siding; and to each roof rafter tail-end to install the roof sheathing.

Abstract: A corrosion-resistant building construction connective hardware attachable to a building structure for installing the starter row of wall sheathing, siding or roof sheathing/decking that reclines the material being hung against the structure, that holds the material in place and that is imprintable for identification and verification purposes. The connective hardware is easily painted or stained to match the exterior finish. The invention is versatile and multiple pieces can be connected to the foundation or foundation mudsill to install the starter row of wall sheathing or siding; to the bottom edge of wall sheathing to install the starter row of siding; or to each roof rafter tail-end to install the starter row of roof sheathing/decking.
