Hi,<br>
I am in the process of putting rigid insulation on an out building. I am installing 2 layers of 2" styrofoam. I found 3" "nails" (very thin with plastic washers to hold the foam) but am having trouble finding fasteners for the next layer....I'm figuring 6" (2x2"foam+1"sheathing + 1" in the stud).<br>
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regular nails that big are WAY too expensive.<br>
I will also need a fastener (maybe a screw?) for the next layer...the occasional nailer that will hold the siding. What do people use?<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bill<br>
