Can You Use A Framing Nailer For Hardie Siding

I m stuck replacing some fiber cement hardie board panel siding by myself.

Can you use a framing nailer for hardie siding.

Hardiplank fiber cement siding can enhance the beauty of any home but if the installer uses the wrong nails it will ruin the exterior look of your home with potential rust stains especially in humid climates. I need a gun. A framing nailer is intended for use when connecting two by fours to frame a house or other structure and is best for projects where you nail together larger pieces of wood. A siding nailer is.

Considering that the best type of nail gun for hardie siding installation process is a pneumatic nail machine with adjustable pressure controlling mechanism. What kind of nailer do you use for hardie siding. If the nails being used in the framing nailer are longer enough to firmly attach the hardie siding to the external wood covering then you can use that for your project. Framing nail guns can be used for siding installation if the nail being used is long enough to attach the siding firmly to your exterior wood sheathing.

I found an old archived post that said to use a siding nailer i m only replacing 7 sheets it seems ridiculous to spend 350 on a gun to install 250 worth of siding. The answer is yes.
