Nailing Requirements of Facia
Nailing Requirements of Facia
(OP)
Has anyone every seen a reference for the suggested spacing or nailing pattern for facia.
I suppose I could calc the C&C wind force and compare to an 8 penny nail allowable withdraw? Would an aluminum 8 penny be the same as what is in the NDS?
Thanks

The question actually stems more from an investigation side(wind damage) than design. Also I mentioned aluminum nails because I was thinking of aluminum siding.
I should note that I am not personally the one doing the investigation but in a lot of wind damage cases you see the facia torn off, especially residential and I was just wondering if there was a nailing requirement.
Thanks again.

I can agree with that, however have you seen a reference for the 24" oc. dimension?
