I used annular stainless from these guys:

Best selection I found when I was hunting for them.

Wow stainless are expensive. I think I will use galvanised, but thanks for the link.

What do you think of this nail? Is it long enough? It's 75mm so 25mm is in the battons. Next size up is 100mm which seems overkill?Image

That looks fine, if rather a heavy gauge. It doesn't need to go into anything other than the batten. I think you might be drilling pilot holes if you use such a heavy nail.

I think I have about 25% of the cladding done, well one side any way. Eagle eyed people might notice I have not driven the nails all the way in yet just in case I have to remove it.

I will put some more timber around the window reveal to make it look neater.

I do not think therefore I do not am.
