Galvanized/corrugated metal below board n batten siding

[Sedgehammer]

Anyone have - pics - experiences - violent reactions - suggestions - on doing it?

My wife asked about it and I kinda maybe think it wood look nice actually. Plus it wouldn't have that possible stain look at the bottom, although I prefer a dark stain vs a clearer one.  It wood break the walls up some, since they are 20', which is too tall really, but I don't really like change the roof slope look where they meet for a lean to.

Took me a long time to kinda get a pic that shows what we are talking about


Our siding is darker and the metal won't go that high. Maybe 36", plus our boards are 12"

I would do something different with where the b&b stops above the metal, you can see it stays wet. Maybe get rid of the horizontal board and cut the b&b at an angle so it drips off. B&B would need spaced out to overlap the metal maybe.

I asked a member about what he put on the bottom of a shop? he built. Was just like what you want. I myself would have the boards over hang the steel.

No horizontal board on bottom. That's just not a good idea. Agreed on angle.

Not sure on what you mean b&b being spaced out.

@thecfarm can't really do over, but I wood bend a piece of galvanized like an a flat 'z' to go over the corrugated and up behind the b&b. Wood have a bent over front edge like 'j' has

I like the look and it's a great idea.
I would use z flashing that matches the metal and stop the wood at that.
No horizontal board.

can always run the steel in the horizontal direction and just run the b&b over the edge of the steel with the angle on the wood to allow for drip.

Or you remove/ flatten the top ridge and screw everything tight to the wall.

I'll run some z over the top. Then run wood 1/4" from it with an angel cut on the back side of the board n batten

Ive used it inside my shack as wainscoting behind the stove to reduce the wall temp.

Sedgehammer,

I like that look, and 36" should work depending on your eaves. The shorter the eave, the higher I'd take the corrugated tin. With the Z trim and a bevel on the bottom of the boards to shed water I don't see a problem with it.

My man cave has it in the kitchen area above the cabinets and on the walls. That kind was the thin shiny stuff from home depot. I don't really like that, but at the time had no other supplier. I now have found a local supplier of the real older looking stuff and is thicker.

I used it behind my wood stove in Tenn.
Also have the 5 bend as a ceiling and the ripple on one wall in my sports room in Florida.

Here in Vermont it would be a problem.
Snow build up and splash back from the eaves will cause it rust.
