The website says that the wood is marine plywood. How thick do you think it is (3/4"?) and do you think that you just need to buy it in 4'x8' sheets and cut it into strips. And how big of strips/planks... 6 inch wide? Which type of wood do you think would be best. Douglas fir marine plywood isn't too expensive.. about $50/sheet. But all you really need there is 1 sided i assume... and they have a 1/4" one sided teak for $92 if you think that would work. And that reglet link is helpful http://www.fryreglet.com/products-shape.htm but which product do you think it is? And anyone know how much galvalume runs per sq ft ? thanks I’m going to try and do this look on a house. The website says that the wood is marine plywood.

The product profiles can be seen on this webpage, http://www.fryreglet.com/products-shape.htm So this house is probably not a true rainscreen since there wouldn't be an air gap behind the wood. Its basically an aluminum drip edge/flashing that goes between each piece. Its a much more expensive way to get a similar look if you have concerns about the performance of the rainscreen in your environment or about the water-proof material you are putting behind it.

I especially love the concrete slab patio and walk. Great house, thanks for posting. I love the corrugated metal siding and wood siding contrast! I especially love the concrete slab patio and walk.
