Hello,

I recently had a 26' x 26' standalone garage built, and am concerned
by how the siding was hung.

There are about 70-80 nails throughout the garage, poking through the
walls about 1 inch. The nails are sometimes directly between the
studs. There are instances of these nails from about 1 foot above the
floor all the way up to the ceiling joists.

Is this a common practice? I'm concerned about someone injuring
themselves, and I haven't seen this in any other garage I've been in.


The siding is nailed to the sheathing. Pretty common, actually. If the
nail only penetrated the sheathing, it would not hold as well. Either bend
them down or add drywall. Consider insulation if you use the garage as a
shop.
