Yakisugi ( 焼杉 ) Shou Sugi Ban ( 焼杉板 ) Yakiita ( 焼板 ) Burned wooden siding

Our favorite method of wooden siding. A combination of old Amish Board and Batten hanging technique and Japanese burned wood preservation. This combination gives one of the strongest, most beautiful and longest lasting wooden wall coverings possible. I will give a brief description of each practice individually below:

Amish B&B siding is a bit different than normal in that the wide boards are hung first by a single centrally placed nail, or peg, which just hangs the board in its place until the battens can be firmly fixed into position. Each board is first "read" to determine top and outside of the tree which the board came from, each board should be placed right side up as it grew and bark side out. This ensures as the board drys and cups naturally, it will push against the battens, holding it in position but also allowing expansion and contraction to occur seasonally. The battens are attached either with nails, screws or twine and wedges BETWEEN the wide boards, not through them.

Japanese burned wood siding is an ancient technique that protects wood from all things detrimental to its longevity, weather, insects, UV light, and so on. It can be don't in many ways, but the the level of burn should be fully charred for best protection. Natural vegetable based drying oils, linseed, tung oil, canola etc can be sprayed on afterward to further protect the wall.
