Hi,
First time posting, so please forgive me if this topic has already been discussed (I tried searching and didn't find anything).
I am a part-time handyman/contractor and am trying to make a privacy fence around a customers trashcans. He is interested in the sides being made from hardieplank. I've never worked with it, but am familiar.
The spans are 72" and 58" (it's a small "L"-shaped area).
Anyone have any experience with making a fence from hardieplank? I am curious if I need to get into framing it out with 2x4 supports 16-24" OC or if a plank can span 72" only secured on the ends (to 4x4s in concrete) without bowing/breaking.
BIG thank you to any comments/feedback/suggestions.
Looking forward to being apart of this community!
Best,
Ian
