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.

Board & Batten siding installation started today. Should it be centered over the door, so they hit the lights at the same place? It just looks wonkie to me.

Once it's laid out and figured in to account for windows, doors and the light fixtures like you have it can be difficult to get everything to break on perfect centers. Whoever installed this didn't do too bad of a job.

Installing board and baton ?? - Canadian Woodworking and Home Improvement Forum
October 25, 2006 - Wally, Im sure one screw in the center would hold fine but I think 2 screw will go a long way to help prevent cupping of the boards and reduce the strain on the battens. Gary, I didn't think of adding something to the inside. It would work but thats more work then I care to do. Also, anything I put in the cavity would affect the R value. Particularly with that many. Thanx to everyone for all the great advice. I really did consider all of it even tho I came up with something a little different than anything suggested. Had I not posted the question I would have just face nailed it at each side of the board so that the batten covered it.

September 3, 2024 -

I had some board and batten siding installed on a project and I want to make sure I am getting what I paid for, as I went for a well known high priced siding company. The job looks a little shoddy to me but I don’t know the tolerances generally allowable on this job.

There’s at least 3/4” gaps in the trim over the drip cap on the window. The housewrap is showing through. What are the recommended installation gaps to leave in this area? This is my main issue.

There’s a half inch uneven reveal above the windows where they have the upper piece of hardie above the windows

Hardie reveal over door is not level or even. Gap is about 1/8” over middle and increases to 1/4” or more on right.

Metal filings not cleaned up - although not a big issue.

Large gap over the outlet cover. It’s around 3/8” or so.

Thanks for your knowledge.
