Quick Answer: Dogberry Collections Traditional Board & Batten Exterior Shutters are solid Cedar shutters with a classic vertical board and crossbar batten design — sold in pairs, available in heights from 36″ to 84″, seven color options including Provincial Blue. The most traditional shutter profile in our cedar lineup.
Board and batten shutters are the oldest and most recognized shutter style in American architecture — vertical boards held together by horizontal battens, a construction method used on farmhouses, colonial homes, and cottages for centuries. The Dogberry Collections Traditional Board & Batten Shutters revive that timeless design in solid Cedar, with a hand-applied finish and seven color choices — including the classic Coffee Brown that's become the signature color of choice. Whether you're restoring the look of a 1920s craftsman or adding traditional character to new construction, these shutters do the work.

Why Cedar for Exterior Shutters?
- Natural rot resistance — built-in tannins protect against moisture, insects, and fungal decay
- Lightweight and workable — easier to hang and adjust than hardwood alternatives
- Paint and stain retention — cedar's open grain holds finish longer than smooth-surface wood species
- Dimensional stability — less prone to seasonal warping than pine or MDF shutters
