only hung this stuff once before , maybe three or so years ago, anyhow, I’m reading the instructions, says blind nailing you can’t do it 2’oc. Up in the gable truss, I’m thinking either put in more studs or, it’s faster to just nail it 12″oc, except every other nail will be just in plywood. I prefer faster. Comments?…
this is 1/4″ , 7 1/4 wide , planks.

Or you could use a manly man's sheathing, like 1-1/4" ply.
I would talk to the area Hardie rep. I've found our rep. to be very helpful, and it's always best to get your advise from someone who knows as opposed to someone who just thinks he does.

i just think i do..
.nail it to the plywood.. make sure the nail sticks thru the ply at least a 1/4 inch.. so one nail in every stud.. and the intermediate in the ply....who knows maybe your rep even knows what he's talking aboutMike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
