Gecko Gauge SA903m8- Hardie Plank Fitting Tool

Gecko Gauges for fibre cement and increased productivity! We know what a fantastic product JamesHardie fibre cement boards are. Cladding installation is quicker with two installers, but if you are working alone then progress should be quicker using a Gecko Gauge.

The Gecko Gauge and JamesHardie planking

Good news, the Gecko Gauge clamps help users install fibre cement siding up to 48% faster than traditional methods. The user clamps a pair of Gecko Gauges to the siding course, allowing them to gauge and support the next course for nailing. The Friction-Cam mechanism on the gauge is factory calibrated to provide sufficient holding power to support the 3.6 metre boards.

Working as a pair, the Gecko Gauge clamps to each cladding layer. They act as a second set of hands to gauge and support the next board for nailing. Therefore, you should get fast, accurate installation with less fatigue. The Gecko Gauge has been recognised as the fastest and simplest fibre cement siding tool.

We sell the UK & European gauge

Although the Gecko is made in America it has been modified for European metric boards. Therefore, the gauge adjusts at 10mm for 100mm-240mm reveals and is designed for 8mm thick fibre cement cladding products.  Please note, we sell the SA9038m which is designed for the 8mm European boards. Some products sold elsewhere are intended for the American market.
