We were planning on varnishing the housewrap for our final exterior finish, but even with 3 costs of varnish - it blows right off!!! So, we have come up with a house wrap retention system. We have commissioned a series of rough sawn lumber in two distinctive widths. We would go on to classify these as: boards and battens. We have placed these vertically on the house in a fashion that we have coined: reverse board and batten. If you wish to replicate this system to protect your housewrap, fax me a handsome sum of money, and I will fax you back a certificate of approval and scratch and sniff mystery sticker that laments: 'I hope your happy with yourself'.
Please see below for the manual:
