Hi guys
Does anyone know much about using James Hardie cladding for a freestanding outdoor wall?
We are doing up our pool area and
installing some James Hardie fine texture cladding around the boundary of our pool, we wanted it to look like a masonry wall and love this concrete-look texture. We’ve installed aluminium posts, timber rails and set with concrete in the ground about 10cm off the colour bond fence. We’ve put some timber as a cap on top and trim on the 2 exposed corners. The back is currently slightly exposed to the elements. Is the back pre-primed? I wanted to check if this is likely going to cause rot and deteriorate quickly? Has anyone used similar cladding like this? Will be finishing the front with outdoor paint.
