Board & Batten Siding
Board and Batten siding is a timeless look that is easy to install and leaves a classic "farmhouse" look. There are many different materials, and ways to create a board and batten look, and below are just some of the many options.
Western Red Cedar Board & Batten
Western Red Cedar uses a traditional board and batten look to leave a warm, rustic look. This is best when finished natural, but can be painted or stained. Western Red Cedar is an excellent siding choice as it has natural oils and resins that make it resistant to rot and decay.
