Board & Batten Siding
Board and Batten Siding was born out of practicality and utility, but has stuck around because it is also quite beautiful. You will find Board and Batten in many different material options, but if you have horses and/or are using around livestock White Oak needs to be seriously considered. Horses will not eat it (as long as they have another food source) and it’s very dense meaning that it will hold up to kicks, bumps, and anything else a 1000lb animal can throw at it. White Oak has a natural resistance to moisture, insects, and animals. You can paint or oil, but you do not need to, even for o

Cheap DIY Board and Batten is everywhere. I’m genuinely curious…
So all board and batten means is this… the batten (smaller piece) just covers the seam of the board (wider piece) It’s originally just a siding style… you clad the structure in boards… then cover the seam with the batten to keep it as air tight as possible When you see it on interior walls, board and batten is just a style of “wainscoting” Wainscoting was originally a nice looking way to help seal and insulate stone walls.. but it also protects from damage better then plaster, or now drywall, from furniture, chairs, knocking into etc… So “board and batten” on an interior wall is just a design style of “wainscoting” A lot of the diyers just glue 1x or plywood strips to drywall because it’s way cheaper than covering your walls in all wood… but creates kinda the same look when it’s all called and painted You have to paint it though… if you want a nice dark wood look, it has to be all wood, you can’t stain drywall More on reddit.com

Board and Batten exterior siding options
Can't say I know if there's much of a difference in terms of price but we went with board and batten vinyl on our new construction and couldn't be happier. Horizontal vinyl to me is just plain and boring. We even went 2 tone (white and charcoal) which gives it a neat modern yet traditional look https://imgur.com/a/NU83d0Y More on reddit.com

Board and Batten Wood Choice
All this entirely depends on what you want it to look like. Internally really any wood is fine. Are you planning on insulating before boarding? If so I'd probably recommend just using standard 2x2 to fit insulation between them and then boarding over it in whatever your desired finish is More on reddit.com

DIY Board and Batten Siding
January 30, 2023 - We used large ACX Plywood sheets instead of what was previously applied to the exterior of the structure, which was traditional 1×10 wood boards, which is of course where the name “board and batten” comes from. Here’s why we used ACX Plywood instead of traditional board: this type of plywood is made of high-grade ‘A-type’ plywood on one side and a lower-grade ‘C-type’ on the other, and the two sides are attached by using a weather-resistant glue.

r/Carpentry on Reddit: Cheap DIY Board and Batten is everywhere. I’m genuinely curious…
December 8, 2023 -

Im not a pro—hell, Im not even really a hobbyist! I used to build things with my dad when I was younger and we had a dual sliding compound miter saw that I learned to use when I was maybe too young to learn how to use a miter saw.

I like to go down ADHD rabbit holes. And I’ve been seeing a TON of board and batten over the last 5-7 years and I want to know the proper composition and utility for it. But all I can find is cheap DIY projects that are clearly not really board and batten—they are simply people gluing MDF to the wall and thinking it’ll look good in a year (not to mention they aren’t matching trims, and their verticals are hanging over their baseboards). This is infuriating.

So where do I find this info? Isnt their supposed to be a veneer “board” that the verticals and/or horizontals are supposed to “batten”…? I’m so sick of people thinking they are an artist when they are finger painting a coloring book.

I’m not even saying I’d take up doing it, I just want to know.
