There is an alternative to using nails. There is a self drilling screw that
is made for Fiber Cement siding. Use a drill to put them in. I got my
screws at a "normal" lumber yard that also sold fiber cement products.

I’m interested in doing fiber cement board siding. I only have 15 square,
my own house. I thought a pneumatic nailer would keep things consistent.
Now I see there are roofing nailer and siding nailers. The only difference
I see is the length of nail roofing goes 1 ¾ siding will go to 3 inch. I
would use the 1 ¾ length…
Anyone know if the siding nailer performs better than a roofing gun? I’m
wondering also if there are special nails needed for cement plank siding.
Stainless, ring shank, etc.

Thanks,
