How Board and Batten Works

  • Boards: Wide vertical planks installed first, edges slightly overlapping
  • Battens: Narrow strips covering the gaps between boards
  • Spacing: Typically 12" boards with 2" battens is standard
  • Materials: Cedar and redwood are naturally rot-resistant
  • Installation: Boards attach to studs, battens cover seams
