Using Hardiebacker in an external setting

    Just interested if this could be an option.

    I have a concrete wall of about 50' x 8' which has a bituthene membrane around it. As this is now not going to be subsurface my initial thinking was using rib lath and then a couple layers of sand and cement. Downside to this is that the rib lath would need to be fixed to the concrete every 10-12 inches to ensure it could withstand the weight of the plaster.

    Would anyone have any experience/stories/recommendations on if using Hardiebacker outside would be an option and if it would be able to withstand the elements as well as 2 layers of sand and cement (with scud under I'd imagine)?

    Or any other options I'd appreciate your thoughts until I can get through to the local Hardiebacker rep.

    Ye cement fibre board can work. Would you not put in some insulation while your plastering away..
