thx, Knucklez
Well not a web site.
I live in a converted barn with board and batton siding.
I bought 7/8" rough sawn southern yellow pine, cut off 1 1/2" and made batton from it(In a table shaper) and covered the entire outside of the building.
What are you asking? Installation on a barn is,nailing the board as well as batton to the girts/angle bracing/posts and beams/where ever it will take a nail to attach.
A pole building is a little different being you have a lot more areas to nail to.
Nailing to siding board leaving a space of,say,1 inch allows airflow(typical of farming/agricultural applications) then the batton is applied over the opening to close off the area so as to keep weather from directly hitting the interior structure.
Does this answer your post?
