Vertical boards with narrow battens: the siding that gives a barn its classic shadow lines, in metal, wood or fiber cement.
Board and batten is a vertical siding pattern with wide boards and narrow strips (battens) covering the seams. It gives a barn strong shadow lines, a handcrafted look and a texture that reads well from far away.
It comes in real wood, fiber cement and metal profiles that mimic the look with less upkeep. We help you choose the material by balancing appearance, budget and maintenance, and we detail corners and trim for a clean finish.
