Board and Batten Calculator

Board and batten comes down to fitting a whole number of battens across a wall, and this works out that spacing for you. Give the wall width and height, the batten width and the gap you have in mind, and it returns the batten count, the gap you actually get, the linear feet and how many stock boards that takes. A second mode covers board and batten siding, where wide boards run vertically and a batten sits over every joint. The gap almost always shifts from the one you asked for, because the battens have to divide the wall evenly. No lumber prices are built in, so nothing here is quoted as a cost.
