Abstract
A joiner clip for securing panels to a substrate is provided that includes a planar sheet of material that has a bottom portion terminating in outer edges. A pair of legs extends downward from the outer edges and terminating in a retaining shelf clip adapted to support a bottom edge of an inserted panel. Mounting holes form countersunk indents in the planar sheet that offsets the joiner clip from the substrate. A construction unit is also provided has such a joiner clip secured to a vertical stud substrate. At least inserted panel is supported in the retaining shelf clip of a first leg of the clip. A joint is readily formed between two inserted panels. Fasteners through an inserted panel secure the same to the clip and substrate. An additional siding strip is readily secured to the substrate below the pair of legs.
