[QUOTE="quad, post: 16423720, member: 17952"] Vertical sleepers would help by creating an air cavity behind the metal panels. Sometimes vertical sleepers are installed on the substrate and then a second layer of horizontal sleepers over that. This might be needed if you wanted to install your siding vertically. Since the vertical sleepers goes down first it helps promote drainage down the substrate. Or the sleepers could be installed diagonally. This is sometimes referred to as a Rainscreen. I would place insect screen at any open joints to prevent spiders and bugs from making a nice home in the air cavities. You can imagine what kind of mess this would create over 20 years.
