going to use hardie Board panel siding as a skirt board on a deck rehab project.
Should I use some sort of barrier between the 4×10 fir beams and the Hardie or just go right over the wood with the siding?
If it matters I am in Colorado

Jim, you back to normal?
For deck applications I don't think I'd worry about felt. I would think about small PT furring strips to keep the siding off the fir and to help prevent the fir from taking on too much water.
not quite yet
not sure I ever was! Thanks for asking!
They will have to replace the cornea, as it has bad scarring that scrambles the light on the way in to the eye.
Looking at four weeks down before returning to work so I need to get some ducks lined up first.
We have started running Ice and water shield on top of our deck beams after several beam repairs due to water damage.
I let it hang over where the decking runs perpendicular to the beams so I can run the hardie board under it to keep water from between beam and skirt board. Parallel runs are covered by decking overhanging the beams.
After posting here I checked thier web site and found they require a barrier between the panels and wood sheathing or framing.
So the felt will go on.
