A board is provided that includes a pattern to facilitate attachment of the board to a frame structure. The pattern comprises a first array of marks disposed along a first imaginary line; a second array of marks disposed along a second imaginary line, said first and second imaginary lines being spaced a first predetermined distance apart; and a third array of marks disposed along a third imaginary line, said first and third imaginary lines being spaced a second predetermined distance apart. The board may be used in a variety of construction applications, where the pattern facilitates the quick attachment of the board to an underlying frame.

1. A sheet of material for installation using fasteners, the sheet of material comprising: a wood panel having two generally parallel and horizontal longitudinal edges and two generally parallel and vertical transverse edges, wherein an upper one of the longitudinal edges defines a top edge defining an about 8-foot length of the panel and one of the transverse edges defines a leading edge defining an about 4-foot width of the panel such that the leading edge is shorter than the top edge;a first array having a plurality of generally vertical rows, each row of the first array comprising a plurality of individual discrete fastener markings that serve as discrete targets to provide precise locations to place the fasteners during installation, wherein each row of the first array is spaced apart from one another by approximately 16 inches, wherein a first row of the first array is spaced from the leading edge by approximately 16 inches, a second row of the first array is spaced from the first row by approximately 16 inches; and a third row of the first array is spaced from the second row by approximately 16 inches; anda second array having a plurality of generally vertical rows, each row of the second array comprising a plurality of individual discrete fastener markings that serve as discrete targets to provide precise locations to place the fasteners during installation, wherein each row of the second array is spaced apart from one another by approximately 24 inches, wherein a first row of the second array is spaced from the leading edge by approximately 24 inches, a second row of the second array is spaced from the first row by approximately 24 inches, and wherein the plurality of individual fastener markings within each row of the first and second arrays are arranged in a substantially straight line that is substantially parallel to the leading edge,wherein the discrete fastener markings of the first array have a first geometric shape, the discrete fastener markings of the second array have a second geometric shape, and the first geometric shape is different from the second geometric shape,wherein the third row of the first array and the second row of the second array are aligned along a common generally vertical line that defines a centerline of the panel, andwherein the discrete fastener markings of the rows of the first array are equidistantly spaced apart vertically by a first distance and the discrete fastener markings of the rows of the second array are equidistantly spaced apart vertically by a second distance, and wherein the first distance by which the fastener markings of the first row are equidistantly spaced apart and the second distance by which the fastener markings of the second row are equidistantly spaced apart are both about 6 inches. 2. The sheet of material of claim 1, wherein the wood panel is a wood composite panel. 3. The sheet of material of claim 1, further comprising a row of fastener markings adjacent the leading edge and substantially parallel to the leading edge. 4. The sheet of material of claim 3, wherein the fastener markings adjacent the leading edge have a different shape or size from the fastener markings of the first and second arrays. 5. The sheet of material of claim 1, wherein at least one row of the first array is aligned in a common line with at least one row of the second array. 6. The sheet of material of claim 1, further comprising a first numerical indicia positioned adjacent at least one fastener marking of at least one row of the first array and a second numerical indicia positioned adjacent at least one fastener marking of at least one row of the second array, wherein the first numerical indicia indicates the spacing between the rows of the first array and the second numerical indicia indicates the spacing between the rows of the second array, and wherein the first numerical indicia is the numeral 16 and the second numerical indicia is the numeral 24. 7. A method of installing a panel, comprising: providing the panel comprising a leading edge;a first array of rows, each row comprising a plurality of discrete fastener markings that serve as discrete targets to provide precise locations to place the fasteners during installation, wherein each row is spaced apart from one another at a first row-to-row distance, and wherein a first row of the first array is spaced from the leading edge by a first edge-to-row distance; anda second array of rows, each row comprising a plurality of discrete fastener markings that serve as discrete targets to provide precise locations to place the fasteners during installation, wherein each row is spaced apart from one another at a second row-to-row distance, wherein a first row of the second array is spaced from the leading edge by a second edge-to-row distance, and wherein the second row-to-row distance is greater than the first row-to-row distance,wherein the discrete fastener markings of the first array have a first geometric shape, the discrete fastener markings of the second array have a second geometric shape, and the first geometric shape is different from the second geometric shape, andaligning a selected one of the rows of the first and second arrays of fastener markings on the panel with a framing component of an underlying frame, the selected row of fastener markings having a first row of fastener markings and a second row of fastener markings; andinserting a first fastener into the panel at or near the location of one of the fastener markings in the first row of fastener markings and inserting a second fastener into the panel at or near the location of one of the fastener markings in the second row of fastener markings, wherein all of the fastener markings in all of the rows of the first or second array are used to provide proper fastener spacing. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of inserting a plurality of fastener markings includes inserting one fastener in or near each fastener marking of the aligned, selected row. 9. The sheet of material of claim 7, wherein the row of the first array and the row of the second array that are aligned along a common line comprise individual fastener markings having a shape that differs from shapes of the other rows of fastener markings.
