» Yes. Apply a sheathing layer of OSB or marine plywood followed by, a weather resistant membrane and timber battens over the face of the metal frame, and install HardiePanel® siding as per the installation instructions. The site engineer should ensure that the fixing specification of the sheathing and battens to the steel studs sections satisfies the engineering demands placed on the structure.
