Great stuff. I have watched several siding videos and this is the only one that explains how to take it to the next level by getting a bat in the middle of the wall.
Thanks a lot! It is weird I stumble upon exactly what you’re looking for on RUclips every once in a while. Thanks a lot for watching!
Awesome video. Thanks alot. Installing the same stuff right now and this helps alot . Same color too!

Thank you! Appreciate the board and batten vertical video.
You’re welcome, Josh I’m glad I can help!
Well done...clean results!
Thanks Scott!
I always seek your channel when I start a new project. I'm about to do a small vertical siding job. Thanks for your expertise 😘
I appreciate you checking my videos out when starting new projects. The vertical siding is not too complicated. After your first job, you will find it’s not bad. Good luck Lisa!
@@TheExcellentLaborer thanks so much. I've done a little horizontal siding before on my old shack, when I first found you actually. Seems pretty much the same except perpendicular. You rock. And you're easy on the eyes too 😉
Great job! Thanks for showing this! Prefer the go pro to see exactly how you're doing it etc..
Great video and well done. Thanks for the video
how did i miss this .... yes that is some great vid action. always great info and spectacular explanation Superb work again Josh!
Hey Eric! I’m not sure how you missed it but thanks for checking it out. This projected required two people unlike most of my vids.
@@TheExcellentLaborer well ... even tho it might not seem like im busy commenting on all the vids ... sometimes I miss a few. As an old Advertising guy ... more cameras on a scene makes great editing ... If only you had a loving wife to help. haha GREAT stuff!!!
I hate paint on exterior so here I am! Vinyl way easier on maintenance!
Good job man 👨
Excellent video
Thanks Matt!!
Greetings from S. E. Ohio. Sure wish I knew about this vertical siding before I put metal siding on our new house. Never had great cell service in house but when I put metal siding on, it just killed any cell service I had. Enjoyed your vids. Keep up good work
Hey John! I never thought about metal interfering with cell service. Thanks for watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer like I said, where I live the service isn't the best but metal sure killed whatever device I had
Pound an 18 "- 24" rebar (or use meter box) into the ground even where they're breaks between alum siding as a chimney. Then run a ground wire from the bottom of the siding to the rebar. It's similar to grounding a car engine to the chassis. Alum is a conductor, if not grounded, will cause static - interference. It was a requirement in NJ.
@@ozziestrom9793 thnx for info will try that tomorrow seeing that I have ground rod at corner of house
Thanks for your videos man. Very helpful. I still don’t see how when rain hits the top part above the window, how the water doesn’t end up getting behind the siding.
Love the video, and all of your other ones! Really good. I'm about to do the exact same job, and your videos really help. I do have a question. In this video, with vertical siding, why did you not install a rain screen or furring strips between the tyvek and the siding?
Do you prefer the GoPro (1st person view) instructions or the standard camera (3rd person view) instructions?
Good job
Thank you!
Good video, have to ask as we require rigid insulation on exteriors here, why do you not strap the walls for vertical?
Great job. Do you have any videos on metal siding?
Saludos bendiciones Josh exelente videos muchos calurosos abrazos
Thanks!!
This wall looks great. awesome job. This is what I would like to do for the Shed/Office/Studio I am building. Could you give a view on what pricing looks like for this? Thank you for the content and keep up the great work.
Would love to see how to do flashing under doors and windows with vertical siding.
Me too
Have you ever installed vertical siding like this with walls over 10’ high (the max length of my siding). Do you over lap? Or is there a trim piece used to create a seem? Any recommendations?
If you are adding ridgit foam insulation about 1 1/2" thick which will be then covered with furring strips. Furring strips will have long screws going into studs, Can you screw on the siding to those furring strips, or it must be attached with nails, so it can move during hot/cold days?
Thanks

At the 6 minute mark, you nail in the utility trim but the nail goes through the inside-corner piece underneath. Doesn't that mean that the inside-corner is no longer free to move with expansion?
Hey there, got a question I have not been able to find the answer to. Ill be using certainteed and they have j channel sizes from 3/8" to 1". Also undersill trim at 1/4" or 3/8". Do you know which size I'll need?
Looks great. Have you ever installed two types of vertical siding next to each other on the same wall? For example we are installing horizontal siding on the lower half of the wall. On top of the horizontal siding we will install a band board. On top of the band board to the soffit we will install board and batten vertical siding. However, under the width of each window, from the bottom of the window to the band board we want a different type of vertical siding. I was thinking of using a double lineal hung vertically to separate the two types of vertical siding. Your thoughts please.
I have never done that. I would keep the same vertical siding for the whole project. I hope that helps!
Have wood board and batten install in the early 90s by a previous owner. Rot in many areas. I've had quotes for siding non with removal old siding and putting up new wrap. Is it ok to side over old wood siding like that?
Hey, nice job on the siding! Quick question: we noticed some buckling in the vertical siding on a new job here in Vermont. Is that typical in areas with wide temperature range? How do you prevent that?
How did u put the casing on around the window?. If top expands less then bottom are u pulling the vinyl up to the top j channel to nail?
How did you make the blocking for the lights on either side of the doors? Did you just use wood?
Blue chalk works well easy to remove.Never use red on finish product.
What do you do a the bottom of the J Channel to keep debris and water buildup. I heard weeping hole 3/8” drilled?
Great video and just about to install same siding on a flip. Why didn’t you use j channel around that window? I assume because it was under the porch? Thanks
The windows have J channel built on them already. Hope that helps!
I'm here!
Hey AUSTIN!!
How were you able to get the battan exactly the same on both sides of the window?
Look great what colors was use?

My siding contractor didn’t center the batten to my walls, he said I don’t specify it. Worse part is on gable roof. He already billed me even though I’m not happy and gave me one week to pay.
Very thick Delmarva Baltimore sounding accent
Very interesting 🤔
Length of wall. Ex. 60’. 60’ / 7” = 102 battens = 59’-6”. 6” remains. 6” + one full batten. 6”+7”= 13”. 13” / 2 = 6 1/2” that would be your starter batten. ???
Well you can use a utility knife and a cut off wheel to speed up the process just an FYI
Do you know of any B&B made in 8’ of 16’ lengths? My walls are 8’. 130” is a lot of waste
With vertical siding do you not use J-trim around windows/doors?
Those windows have built in j channel
What do you do when the wall is taller than the siding pieces?
And is under sill trim required or are there other options?
What is the colour name of the siding in the video?
you should never end up with less than 1/2 of a board at the end so you can't just center a board on your wall. its like tile you should never end up with less than 1/2 a tile in any part of a room unless you want to.
