 vinyl siding

I used to be a professional carpenter so I may could offer some suggestion but it would be helpful to know how you framed your walls. What is the spacing between framing members? You should be able to fasten the siding thru the OSB into the studs (or poles) without worry about protruding nails. If your framing is so spaced out as to not offer enough nailing points for the siding, I can't imagine that the sheathing has enough support. BTW, why does it concern you to have protruding nails in the stud bays? Are you concerned about the nails' lack of purchase in the OSB, or are you planning on leaving the interior of the stud bays unenclosed?

One alternative would be to get a box of galvanized decking scews (1" if you can find them, otherwise 1.25"Wink yeah right and screw through the OSB into a 1x2 or 1x3 furring strip held vertically against the interior surface of the OSB. Place these furring strips 16" O.C. If you don't have a helper to hold the strips in place while you fasten from the outside, screw them in place from the inside temporarily with two or three 1 5/8" or 2" screws, removing these fasteners after the shorter screws are in place from the outside. Once the furring is in place, you can use the same type screws to attach the siding, taking care to hit the furring strips. As suggested, take care to leave the screw heads slightly proud of the fastening slot on the siding to allow for movement. This will leave you with no protruding fasteners, but you will have furring strips on the interior surface.

Oh. I think I understand now. Ibrown, I didn't know you already had the problem of the protruding nails, but thought you were trying to avoid it. If it were my pole barn, I would just slap OSB on the interior of the purlins, which would cover the nails in the spaces and give you an interior wall covering. Then I would pull non-sheathed wire through conduit mounted on the interior surface of your interior OSB. This seems to me the easiest, cheapest way to go. Of course, the downside is that you will have visible conduit and surface mounted outlet boxes, etc., but that may be okay for a pole barn. I, for one, would like to hear what you decide to do. Good luck.
