I built the FL14...not 100% sure what you mean by the battens, but if you mean the wood strips that help support the seat - I used something like a 1" x 3/4" piece. Rip a strip of 3/8 ply to 1" and glue 2 together. Thats more than enough.

You could probably get away with 1 strip because the frame will give you another 3/8 - assuming the frame is 3/8 ply.

Whatever you have available: 1x1?
We have used small battens cut from left over plywood, that works too.
