Center Batten: The Batten is the board that goes horizontal top and bottom of shutter. If you order
shutters 55” and longer, it is recommended to add the center batten to help secure the center part of
the shutter. Ordering the 3rd batten for the smaller size shutter will allow for a more consistent look
with other shutters.
