Stupid to nail exterior cladding through battens AND wall studs?
Because then you have a nail that goes all the way into the wall stud.
When the nail gets cold -20 and warm +20, moisture will sneak into the stud.
It feels completely unnecessary.
I guess the panel would sit just as well if it were only nailed to the battens.
No one agrees with me?
Best regards

Now I have standing board and batten paneling on my building. I have 28 mm spaced horizontally, 21 x 145 panel which is nailed with 50 mm galvanized wire nails. It won’t come loose, promise

Hello!
Yes, vertical cladding attached on the outside of the studs.
But since the nails were about 70mm, they went through all the way to the studs, which was unnecessary.
Now with 50mm nails, I'm only fastening the cladding to the nailing battens.
Perfect. (Hope the cladding doesn't come loose from the nailing battens though.)
Regards
