I am interested in finding out what the life expectancy is of hot-dipped galvanized nails versus stainless steel nails in fibercement siding. Stainless steel nails cost a lot more than galvanized, is the expense worth it? I am in a temperate climate with some humidity.
Also, the trouble I am having is that 5 penny stainless steel ringshank doesn’t penetrate the siding every time. Every other nail bends and does not go through. Do I need to go to 6 penny or larger nail?
