If we use a vertical siding with a large air space (3/8 inch or more) we can eliminate the complication and expense of a rain screen.
Ecologically, we would prefer steel siding -- but can only find steel in a board and batten pattern that has most of the surface in contact with the sheathing.
Certainteed makes a number of vertical siding options in vinyl. So -- that may be the path we have to take.
