staples using a pneumatic stapler. Ensure the HardieTrim Corner Tabs are fastened tight and straight to the trim boards. (figure 25)
• For wood frame construction, attach trim to building using min. 6d siding nails fastened through the HardieTrim Corner Tabs attached to
minimum 7/16 in. OSB *. (figure 26)
• Attach a HardieTrim Corner Tab 1 in. from each ends and every 20 in. O.C.

Terminate ends of the Band Board into Trim or Siding or miter cut the edges of the trim at the corners of the building. Place a HardieTrim Flat Tab at the end of
each trim board and one tab every stud at a maximum of 16 in. O.C. The HardieTrim Flat Tabs should be attached to the trim in an alternating pattern to the
