Continuing toward the opening Spring Hill Campground, I am installing board and bat siding today. We will show how it is traditionally done and how this is a little non-traditional. It is technically Board and Batten siding. Most people abbreviate the name to board and bat. The Definition of a batten is along, flat strip of squared wood or metal used to hold something in place or as a fastening against a wall. This installation allows for expansion and contraction of the wood. @FlanaganHomestead

Other videos I watched on B&B nailed it in the center of the board to allow shrinkage both ways, but, of course, you see the fasteners

Batten, bat, baton? In French, bâton means a narrow and long stick, usually with a square cross section. Collins confirms that origin while Merriam -Webster has another origin for batten. I'm a French speaker and board and "baton" make a lot of sense to me :-)

Hi...Can you apply board and bat over vinyl siding? Or plywood and bat?

@reginajaquysh7360 Год назад

Thanks! Informative and helpful. Question: I’m building a small storage, basically a broom closet that will be on my covered deck. I’m using 6” wide rough cut cedar fence pickets for the verticals. Also I plan to stain and apply polyurethane. So my question is, will the fence pickets swell and contract enough to require attaching only on one side, as you demonstrate? Thanks again!

@FlanaganHomestead Год назад

That narrow of a width, if the boards are very dry now, I wouldn’t expect as much shrinkage or expansion. If it were me I would still fasten on one side.

@user-op2nm7hq6l 9 месяцев назад

Great video. What type of wood did you use for your board and batten and also what size/type of nails did you use in your nail gun? Thank you.

@FlanaganHomestead 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, I cut a large Doug Fir on my property for the boards. 1x12 boards 1x3 bats. I have been using a 2 3/8 ring shank nail in my gun.

@Tbird761 3 месяца назад

How do you prevent mice and critters from entering the gaps under the batton strips with this style of siding?

@FlanaganHomestead 3 месяца назад

One bottle of spray foam can do your entire perimeter and your pipe entrances.

@adampark3463 7 месяцев назад

great video thank you so much ! What do you do on the corners of the building?

@FlanaganHomestead 7 месяцев назад

I take similar rough sawn lumber anywhere from 3 inch thick(which is the width of my bats). To 5 inch. Create a corner and mail it on.

@ChickenFarmsForSale 7 месяцев назад

Are the boards just rough cut 1 x 10 rough cut Western cedar from Lowes or Home Depot?

@basilleonardo Год назад

Are you worried about the screws splitting the boards? Would it be better to use like a roofing screw that lays flat on the board?

@FlanaganHomestead Год назад

Not when they are a long ways from the end of the board. The screws at either end depending on the proximity to the end you need to be careful.

@onecowgirl4chrisable Год назад

I want to do this as siding on our house. It currently has old wooden clapboard siding. Do we need to remove the clapboard and put plywood to the studs, then wrap that with tyvex and then do the board and batton? If we were to do the plywood and batton instead of the true board and batton would we still need to do the plywood to the studs then wrap it with tyvex and then more plywood ontop of the tyvex for the battons to go on?

@FlanaganHomestead Год назад

You could put it over clapboard, but it might create some problems. One would be it would push the final siding further out and trimming windows and doors would be difficult. If doing plywood and batten you can put the tyvek on the studs, then plywood then batten.

@taurareynolds5049 Год назад

What size plywood would you need on a house? 3/4 or 1/2 inch

@FlanaganHomestead Год назад

@@taurareynolds5049 in most situations 1/2 inch plywood has enough sheer strength for houses. All homes here except for specialty homes are sheeted with 1/2 inch including my house.

@gallele0 11 месяцев назад

@FlanaganHomestead 11 месяцев назад

Are you using kiln dried lumber?

@FlanaganHomestead 3 месяца назад

No mine is not kiln dried but it was stacked with spacers for several months. Mostly dry, but that is the Beaty of board and bat, it allows for shrinkage during curing.

@truthseeker5890 Год назад

Thank you for doing this. The Internet is littered with conflicting information in regard to the correct method of attaching the boards and bats. This method makes sense and looks good. Attaching the boards and bats in this manner could even be done with green wood. I'll listen to an actual teacher. :) Subscribed.

@ackack612 9 месяцев назад

B&B on top of plywood...? Perhaps unnecessarily expensive with no real benefit other than visual...

@FlanaganHomestead 9 месяцев назад

I have vertcle framing. Not good for board and bat. Also b&b does not give sheer strength like plywood does. I needed this for the design of the structure.

@1portacath 6 месяцев назад

Can I do post and beam framing on top of a concrete pad? The posts will not be sunk into the concrete so I'm concerned they won't have enough sheer strength? @@FlanaganHomestead

@FlanaganHomestead 6 месяцев назад

@@1portacath that would go against the design purpose. If there is already a slab on the ground you wish to cover traditional vertical studs with plywood sheeting and sill plate anchored to the floor would be structurally more sound.
