Hello.
Me and a friend are considering building some storage units this summer and have decided to construct these in wall blocks similar to Lövångers.
We plan to offer the sections with both horizontal and vertical paneling. For the horizontal paneling, you use 3 pieces of 45x45 and the wall block then consists of 45x45, wind barrier, 28x70 battens along the 45x45s, and then clapboard. Ventilation should not be an issue there.
But for the sections where we will have vertical paneling, the question is whether it’s sufficient to build these with horizontal 45x45, apply the wind barrier, and then battens. Ventilation will only occur in the space created between the baseboard and the cladding, as these will be surrounded by sections with horizontal paneling.
To get more ventilation, perhaps one could nail a few short pieces of 28x70 and leave some gaps in between?
Or are we worrying unnecessarily?
Lövånger has a patented baseboard that provides more air circulation, which is why they don't use a 28x70.
