It seems to be a never-ending cycle of finding new projects. My husband once joked that when we finally have the house how we want it, it\u2019ll be out of date, and time to renovate again. I stand by the fact that some projects need a professional to complete them. To me, this is mostly for safety reasons. But the projects that can be done as a DIYer, save us money and make us feel proud when we&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n<p>One project that may seem daunting, but isn\u2019t bad is the installation of siding. Particularly, vinyl siding is easy to install, once you know the proper method. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jameshardie.com\/blog\/guide-to-board-and-batten-siding?loc=refresh\">Board and batten vinyl siding goes vertically on the outside of the home rather than horizontally<\/a>. This is becoming quite popular, especially when the home already has stone or brick accents. With the proper know-how, you\u2019ll find this an easy project that doesn\u2019t even require power tools.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09.jpg\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-800x534.webp 800w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-180x120.webp 180w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-561x374.webp 561w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-265x177.webp 265w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-531x354.webp 531w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-364x243.webp 364w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-728x486.webp 728w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-608x406.webp 608w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-758x506.webp 758w,https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09.webp 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-800x534.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-728x486.jpg 728w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-608x406.jpg 608w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09-758x506.jpg 758w, https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-install-board-and-batten-vinyl-siding-2021-09.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1751 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"How to Install Board and Batten Vinyl Siding\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is not to say that power tools aren\u2019t useful, but there will be no need to go out and rent or purchase specialty power tools. Today, we&#8217;re going to check out the steps for hanging your board and batten vinyl siding. Also, we&#8217;ll cover some tips that will help the finished product look professionally done.<\/p>\n<h2>Tools Needed<\/h2>\n<p>First off, let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s needed to hang board and batten vinyl siding. As mentioned before, you won\u2019t need any special power tools, but you will need tools that are most likely already part of your toolbox.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Board and batten vinyl siding<\/li>\n<li>Hammer<\/li>\n<li>Roofing galvanized nails<\/li>\n<li>Tin snips<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2ouse.org\/what-is-a-furring-strip\/\">Furring strips<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Base molding<\/li>\n<li>Corner posts<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/12001043\/how-to-install-vinyl-siding-with-a-j-channel\">J-channels<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Board and Batten Siding<\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned before, board and batten siding is just another term for vertical siding. This siding comes in a variety of sizes, and you\u2019ll need to know which size you\u2019re using to make installation that much easier. Most are around seven or eight inches, but some brands have wider boards., nearing 12 inches. You can also select between aluminum and vinyl board and batten siding, but vinyl tends to be easier and safer for DIYers. Aluminum siding can get quite sharp once snipped.<\/p>\n<h2>Installing Board and Batten Vinyl Siding<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare Wall<\/h3>\n<p>A mistake DIYers can easily make is forgetting that there <a href=\"https:\/\/twomakeahome.com\/do-you-need-a-vapor-barrier-under-a-plywood-subfloor\/\">need to be certain protective barriers between the plywood<\/a> and the siding. You&#8217;ll want to lay down a moisture-protective barrier, but this should have been done before the installation of windows and doors.<\/p>\n<p>However, if this is a renovation and the barrier is torn, you\u2019ll want to replace it. This barrier will prevent moisture that may get behind the siding from rotting the wood. You\u2019ll want flashings around the windows to protect from water seepage, and you\u2019ll want to install the furring strips around corners, doors, and windows. Consider adding silicone caulk to any vulnerable seams.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Measure the Wall<\/h3>\n<p>The important part of vertical siding is making sure that it looks even all the way across. If you start in one corner and run to the end of the wall, you\u2019ll likely find you have a gap of an inch or more. It will look very strange having a very tiny piece on the edge, so it\u2019s best to make sure that both edges of the wall match.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you&#8217;ll need to measure the wall from the inside of the corner or furring strip to the inside of the other. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you&#8217;ll want to subtract an inch from your total. This is because there needs to be a half-inch gap between the panels and the corner for expansion. Some contractors suggest nailing a row of nails a half inch out from the wall for the boards to abut.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Find the End Board Measurements<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have the wall measurement, divide it by the size of boards that you purchased to know how many pieces you&#8217;ll need. For example, if I measure my wall and find that it is 189 inches, I&#8217;ll subtract one inch from it before dividing it by 8 (my board size).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>189 \u2013 1 = 188 inches<\/li>\n<li>188 \/ 8 = 23.5 pieces<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This tells me I\u2019ll need 23 full pieces, and I\u2019ll need to break down my last two pieces. Now, if I had a wall that was 185 inches, I wouldn\u2019t even need to worry about it, because I\u2019d have an even number of 23 pieces. However, you need to know how to make this look professional, and it is very uncommon for a wall\u2019s measurements to fit perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Next, look at the remaining number \u2013 a half. Figure out half of that and measure the lock overlap (about 3\/8 inch) to add to that piece. This will bring you to the correct measurements for the two end pieces.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>8 \/ 2 = 4 inches<\/li>\n<li>4 + 3\/8 = 4 3\/8 inches<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 4: Hang the Board and Batten<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to begin from the inside corner because it is more difficult to slide the siding into the corner. Split the edge piece after it has been measured. Use the tin snips to cut the vinyl. Once you have your ripped first piece (my first piece is 4 3\/8 inches, remember?), slide it into the corner to the furring strip and hammer the first nail into the lock overlap. Then, place a nail every 12-18 inches going the length of the lock strip.<\/p>\n<p>Because board and batten siding will mostly expand vertically, you do not want it shifting and messing with the visual line. To prevent this, hammer the very first nail at the top of the nail slot to keep it in place. The other nails can be put anywhere within the slot to allow for movement. From here, you simply slid the next piece in place, lock it in place, and hammer it down before moving on to the next piece.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to have any windows or doors on the side of the house, you&#8217;ll need to measure those and cut them accordingly. Allow for a half-inch gap between the siding and the edge of the window\/door. This will be covered by the furring strip and trim, so no need to worry about expansion.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Hang Trim<\/h3>\n<p>Trim is the final piece that needs to be hung on your project. This will hide any gaps and make the project look professional. If you find that the trim is not even with the siding, use some of the thicker batten pieces from scraps. Once you\u2019ve cut this off the board, glue it to the back of the hanging edge of the trim. This should make it look flush with the wall when you install it. As a bonus, the shading behind it will be the same color as the vinyl so it won\u2019t stand out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, we\u2019ve been renovating my home for a few years.
