Timber boarding on timber frame 1 9. Details on plan 1. The boards are nailed to vertical battens on the substrate this could be masonry timber frame etc. Assuming that the cladding will always be subject to some penetration of moisture a separate protective membrane will be necessary behind the cladding largely protected from wind rain and daylight by the cladding itself.
