Not at the moment Keith but its a 9' 2x6 exterior wall. Steel siding, 4' green at the bottom, 5' at the top is white. Instead of vinyl. I haven't started building the wall yet so I'm open to suggestions. Never built a 2 tone barn wall either. I guess its time to learn. Is this where transition in wall takes place? Never messed with that either.

You just have to build your wall with 2 different exterior finishes (ex. siding A and Siding B. One would be 5' tall with a vertical offset of zero and the other one 4' tall with a vertical offste of 5'. Both with horizontal offset of zero.
The transition fonction would help you when you want a different height.

Thanks Yvon, I built a 2 tone sideing wall and a couple of 2 tone barn walls. You just cant tell your wall to fit to roof, it wont work. I believe Randy showed us the same thing. The bottom siding ends up shaped like a gable. Gable end provided by roof works just fine. Back in the olden days..I use to put a 3' skirting or second wall all the way around my barn to show the 2 different colors. Had problems with the corners all fighting with each other. This worked great. This is our existing Police barn with a proposed 800 sq. ft. 2 bedroom addition.

That takes away the siding not matching at the gable. Now if I can match the 2 sidings up on the wall.( horz.) On a pole barn wall fit to roof doesn't work I spoke to soon. The inside of my wall went haywire. You have to adjust wall suface to soffit then it works perfect. If your a softlist user this is the correct way anyways. I think? (Your steel over a gable truss)
