Is board-and-batten a good choice for fencing?
Board-and-Batten fences
Board and batten fencing is a good design for privacy screening and at the same time allows for air circulation. The basic design for this type of fence is support posts connected by cross members, with planks then added parallel to the posts on alternate sides of the cross members. If you use planks of different widths and vary them randomly the resulting textural variety is attractive.
