Anybody have any tips for working with Hardy (Hardie?) plank siding?
I've volunteered to hang some hooks on a hardy plank wall. *Will I

"accessories" also? * I'm guessing fiber/cement board isn't intended

studs or at least reach the sheathing if she wants anything heavy

Hi,
My cabin has that kind sidings on exterior wall. I only hung couple of
hose hangers. I drilled little larger hole that the screws into a stud,
I put teflon washer under/over the hanger holes. Nothing bad happened
over the years.

I used Hardie siding on my storage shed. When I put a hose hanger on
the side of it I quickly learned to drill it much like you would
ceramic tile, make the hole bigger than the screw and either screw
into a stud or use some kind of anchor like you would on sheetrock.
