Hi,
Really appreciate some input here....I'm stuck !
Hardiebacker500 boards have to be fixed "15mm from the edges...of sheets". So, where I am butting sheets, the line of fixings on each sheet will be 30mm apart - plus 3mm for the gap I need to leave between sheets - a total of 33mm (between lines of fixings).
My studwork is supposed to be 4x2 - and in mm comes out at 90x38.
Given the lines of fixings are 33mm apart - and the studs are 38mm wide, there's not only a couple of mm of wood outside each fixing.
Is this right ? Do I have the wrong size studding ?! Or do I need to "double-up the studs ? Or something else ?
Thanks for any help !
Regards,
David L.
