Can’t Find the Studs Behind Hardy Plank Siding
I am having some difficulty trying to find studs behind Hardy Plank siding. I have tried a couple of different electronic stud finders but none seem to find the studs.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks.

Wirepuller, most hardieplank is blind nailed... thus the problem with finding the studs.
Best bet is to look for the spot where 2 butt joints meet in the field. That should be directly over a stud.
Finding the stud inside and measuring to the daylight opening of a window, then transferring that measurement outside should have worked by now.
