Blog :: nail this board with galv

nail this board with galv

I used to nail this board with galv. roofing nails, still would if I only had the nails. Now I buy some 'rock on' screws, special screws for cement board. I find they are easier to use and hold pretty good too. I screw into each stud and keep the screw about 1" away from the edge.
