Welcome to Board Batten Calculator — a free, simple tool built to take the guesswork out of planning board and batten wall projects.
Our Story
Board Batten Calculator started as a personal project. Like many people tackling a board and batten accent wall or room makeover at home, figuring out the right spacing, board count, and material needs by hand was time-consuming and easy to get wrong. Manually working out even spacing across a wall — especially around corners, doors, and windows — often meant multiple rounds of math and re-measuring.
That frustration led to the creation of this calculator: a straightforward, no-nonsense tool that instantly works out spacing and material estimates so you can spend less time doing math and more time actually building.
What We Offer
Board Batten Calculator provides a free online tool that helps you:
- Estimate the number and spacing of battens needed for your wall
- Plan even, symmetrical layouts around your wall’s dimensions
- Get a quick material estimate before starting your project
Our goal is simple: give DIYers, homeowners, and hobbyists a fast, easy-to-use planning tool — without needing to download software, create an account, or do the math by hand.
