Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free board-and-batten calculator lays out batten spacing, wall marks, counts and a stock-board cut list.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-19 issue.
For
DIYers planning a board-and-batten wall
Worth noticing
The stock-board estimate includes 1/8-inch saw kerf and warns that its first-fit-decreasing method is not guaranteed to find globally optimal nesting.

Field notes

The layout controls distinguish target clear spacing from a chosen number of gaps and allow custom batten and end-batten widths. For stock planning, the page separates optional spare material from cut lengths and kerf, and cautions users to check grain, defects and usable board length before buying.
