Installing Hardie® Plank

The best way to fix Hardie® Plank is by using impulse or pneumatic nail guns, or by nailing by hand.

Nails should be placed 20-25mm down from the top edge of each plank and driven into the batten with the heads flush with the surface of the plank.

If the planks require cutting on-site, a Hardie™ Guillotine or Hardie™ Blade can be used quickly and effectively. In conjunction with these James Hardie Products, we sell the Hardie® Plank cutters in a select number of our depots.

Before installation, Hardie® Plank and Hardie® VL Plank should always be stored indoors in a shed or other storage facility. Storing the planks outdoors in areas with heavy rainfall can cause damage to the planks. If you have no other place to store the planks but outside, make sure to cover the planks using a waterproof tarp.
