Board And Batten Wall Installation

Bustin out a Board and batten wall in my buddy carls house
we used this as the spacing guide www.remodelaho...
Spacing Directions
A. Measure the length of the wall.
B. Decide how many battens you would like on that wall (this is the general spacing do you want them every 2 feet, every foot). Now divide the length of the wall by the general spacing. If you have a 10 foot wall and would like the battens about every 2 feet that equals 5 spaces.
C. Now in order to have 5 spaces you will need 6 battens, so 5 spaces + 1 equals the number of battens you will need. (*You cannot forget the origin point or the “0” if you will, see the diagram below)
D. You cannot forget the thickness of your batten’s themselves. Let’s say they are 3″ so multiply the number of battens (6) by the width of the battens (3″) which is 18″.
E. Subtract the width of the battens (18″) from the length of the wall (10′) which leave 8.5′.
F. Divide 8.5 (the length of the wall minus the width of the battens by the amount of spaces you would like (5). Which leaves you with a spacing of 20.4″ (so just under 20 1/2″ between each batten) This is the exact spacing between each batten.
G. Attach your first batten to the end of the wall. Now measure from the edge of the batten 20.4″ and mark that will be the beginning edge of your next batten. Install the second batten and measure from the edge and repeat installation. Continue your way down the wall.
