Can't make sense of the assembly instructions for Västkustskiva

My recommendation is to install a 12 mm vertical ventilation batten to allow the air to circulate behind the panel, especially if you paint the panel with modern paint

Will be tjärvitrol as paint in that case

How do you handle the west coast panel when you reach the corners of the house? Do you let one side cover the other panel's short side (which I assume you do) or do you end the panels where the stud ends so you get a V shape at the outer corner?

How do you handle the corner of the house with the west coast board? Do you let one side cover the short end of the other board (which I assume you do) or do you stop the boards where the stud ends so you get a V-type in the outer corner?

No, one side should cover along the frame and the other along the insulation, otherwise you won't get full insulation in the corner.

No, it should cover one side flush with the frame and the other flush with the insulation, otherwise it won't be fully insulated at the corner.

As I thought. Thank you so much guys for all your help. I'm sure I'll come up with more silly questions along the way.

One last question for this time. Since I intend for these to also act as a bit of weather protection, I assume that I set them and cover over windows/doors, and don't open them up (cut open the holes) until it's time to install a window, for example?

Yes, that sounds wise, because when building yourself, everything takes time...

That's exactly how I think. It's important to work in a way that time is on your side. You don't want to do such a big project yourself and have too much time pressure on you.
