    Do not use a nailgun on Shera . Any fibrecement does not like to be knocked on in any form or shape . The thing you should look at are self drilling screws . If you are using the 0.8 panels , i would suggest something like this type , or a size bigger ( 25mm-35mm i suggest )

    screwed on the U shaped thin steel profiles  ( they are slightly ribbed , very thin available in all hardware stores ). They are cheap also . The Shera will be the most expensive part . Be sure to have a helping hand , since shera is very brittle and will break very easy .

    I heard , and this im not sure off , but i can imagine it to be true , is to avoid problems with breaking/cracking panels later on , you pre-drill the hole in the Shera . Maybe somebody knows more about that , but anyway it is a pretty easy job .

     

    Thanks for the advice, my original thought was to pre drill the wood and maybe get a smaller pieces as it is heavy stuff, useless for fencing, snaps off too easy but ok for roofing etc

  2. want to cover roof over as the insulation is peeling away. It's about 3x5 meters and was quoted 10k for labour so thought I'd do it myself. What type and gauge nail gun could be used into metal bars, what about the nail material? Watched them do it at the back of the house and it looked easy and quick but never used a nail gun, few hundred baht on Lazada. I was thinking of panels 0.8x 120x 240

    If he didn't have the money and he knew he didn't have it, I am surprised he didn't get an agent to do it for him.

    Immigration have their rules, which you have to respect at the end of the day, whether you agree with them or not.

    If there weren't a visa amnesty he wouldn't be being offered any new visa at all.

    How can you respect rules which allow them to turn a blind eye if they are offered enough to do so?
