How to Remove T-111 Siding

T-111 siding is common on many sheds.

T-111 siding is a popular exterior siding that is generally used for sheds and other outbuildings. It is easy to put up and is mounted by using either nails or screws. How it was mounted will be the sole determining factor for removal. No special equipment is needed, and virtually anyone with some do-it-yourself experience will be able to remove T-111 siding.

Things You'll Need

• Safety glasses
• Gloves
• Claw hammer or nail puller
• Drill with the correct bit

Instructions

1. Put on safety glasses and gloves

2. Determine how the T-111 siding was mounted. If it was mounted with nails, you will either need a claw hammer or a nail puller. If it was mounted with screws, you will need a drill with the correct screwdriver bit.

3. Use a claw hammer or nail puller to slightly pry up the head of a nail. Once the head has been pried, slide the jaws beneath the nail head and pry it the rest of the way out. Repeat this process to remove all the nails. Place the T-111 pieces off to the side. If they are mounted with screws, go to the next step.

4. Place the appropriate screwdriver bit into the screw hole. Set the drill to turn in a counterclockwise direction and press it against the screw firmly. Pull the trigger on the drill and turn out the screw. Repeat this process until all the screws have been removed.
