Question How do you install 4' x 8' fiber cement panels?

I have a garage that is presently sided in car siding that is in pretty bad shape (from moisture rot) in some spots. There are not interior walls in the garage--only the exposed studs that are 24" on-center.


The 4' x 8' fiber cement panels are 7/16" thick.

Does anyone know if I can attach the fiber cement panels directly to the studs?

If so, will it cause any problems?

Thanks.

Yes, but building paper must first be installed. See http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner...stallation.php
