A channel for lapped siding includes an elongated nailing strip and an abutment strip with an upper cover strip. This provides a generally C-shaped cross-section. Inside the channel is a rectangular tab that extends at an angle away from the nailing strip up to the cover strip. The channel is nailed to a building. Lapped siding is also nailed to th e building with edges of the siding positioned in the channel. The edge of the siding is slit horizontally to allow the tab to intersect the edge of th e siding. Any water that gets into the channel will run along this tab away from the building wall to an exterior surface of the siding. This keeps the water from flowing behind the siding.
