Their frame looks like this. But if I want to have horizontal (tongue and groove) cladding instead, I will need different studs to nail into. How do you usually proceed then? Do you just place vertical studs on the outside, or is it done differently?
It depends on how long the panel pieces are and the distance they can handle without support. One solution is to, for example, nail/screw directly into the frame. Now you have horizontal battens, which you would skip in that case. If the distance is too long, you can simply insert a beam into the frame so the panel gets enough support.

Thanks for your answer! When you write "insert a stud in the frame," do you mean that you build more like a regular wall, like this? How do you handle the diagonal brace, then? Do you just place it on the inside, or is it not needed?
The diagonal brace remains, but above and below, you attach a piece of stud. If you bevel cut the new pieces, they fit against the diagonal brace and look a bit better from the inside.
