I love how much detail you show in your videos. One thing I don't understand, if your siding overlaps from the top and at the top you have an overhang, how is it possible that the water will get behind the siding? It would need to go up?
Thanks! Driving rain against penetrations in the wall is probably the biggest way (although mostly mitigated with proper flashing details). Condensation is also possible depending on weather conditions
Great video. I watch them all. I am building a new coastal home in Florida and have been looking into which product to use behind hardie cement siding and also cement stucco siding. What other rain screen products did you consider other than Slicker Max and what made you ultimately go with them?

Don't forget capillary action.
Awesome!! Thanks for this very useful video.
Glad it was helpful!

It looked like you use the regular staple and not stainless steel. Are the regular staples suitable for this application?
They are galvanized, so yes
Your investment in this detail will save you a lot of money and labor for a very long time.
