I am in the process of framing my dream shop. I am building it completely out of salvaged materials from the habitat restore were I work. It has half inch plywood sheathing over 24†on center studs. I plan to use ¾â€ horizontal cedar shiplap siding. To maximize my materials use (because I will not be able to get any more of the same vintage, stain, age) I was hoping to be able not to break them on the studs. On one house I have done I use 2†SS trim head screws to side the whole house and I would like not to go throw that pain again. Any ideas on how best to secure the siding would be great. I am not too concerned with nail heads or filling holes but I am going to keep it stained.
Should I use Tarpaper or House wrap?
Thanks

Stainles steel siding nails from Swansecure is the only way to go. They're expensive but worth it.
