I just finished a 12x 16 shed for myself in the backyard.
My question is: I used coil roofing nails to attach the 11/32 pine panel siding (to the 1/2 OSB and/or 16" studs behind it)
Did I mess up by using this type of nail??
very often the nail did not even penetrate deep enough for the nail head to be flush with the panel. (I went back over when done with a framing hammer and drove the protruding nails in a best I could, but even then some nails are still "close to flush, yet protruding" (especially in those spots where I missed the stud, the hammer seems to help a lesser bit on those nails.)
What should I do this time? What should I do next time?
