hardiflex has a low limit on elasticity. if you use ordinary wire nails, you have to pre drill the holes. in my case, i have been using "tek" screw or self drilling/self tapping screw since i use galvanized steel for framing, not wood. the screw heads can be made flush with the surface by countersinking the hole for the screw. then, the scars left behind by the screw can be covered by caulking or spackle prior to painting.
