Folks,
I guess my post got nailed by site problems as well, so here goes again.
Hardiplank applied as it comes has a relatively thin shadow line along it’s bottom edge whereas traditional Clapboard has a much stronger, thicker shadow profile. How would you guys go about getting a stronger/thicker shadow line with Hardiplank? Tradit. Clapboard’s bottom edge is what, 1/2, 5/8ths? Whereas Hardiplank is 3/8ths, maybe? Would you run a 3/8ths thick strip along the wall and apply the hardiplank flush to it? What about cutting Hardiplank strips and laying them out along under the bottom edge? I’m imagining a not very pretty profile, and/or water shedding problems with these kinds of setup but what do I know, I’ve never tried them.
What do you folks think?
Thanks.
p.s. I know someone replied to my original post but I never got to see it, so thanks for the effort but please put it out there again, thanks.
