   That looks like T&G cedar but 26' is going to be an extra special, special order. I'll give you some free advice too, don't do it. The wood will shrink and allow rain in behind the siding which will rot out your whole house. T&G is not made to be hung vertically. If you just can't restrain yourself at the least paint every edge and face with 2 coats before you hang it. It will still rot but will buy you more time.

   You can absolutely have vertically oriented timber cladding. It's a common practice in many parts of the world.

   Kebony (https://us.kebony.com/) sells products that appear to be what you are looking for. There are quite a few manufacturers out there. Looking at the design (very nice) you won't need many pieces that long as windows and doors will break the spans in many locations. Having a few joints can be staggered to give a seamless impression.

   And no, your house isn't going to rot and fall to pieces. You simply need to find an appropriate product and method for your application.

   A common architectural practice is to create a rainscreen. It's the same concept as having a brick wall. You can read about it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainscreen). Dupont (Tyvek) even makes one (https://www.dupont.com/products/tyvek-drainvent-rainscreen.html). You can probably find it at Home Depot...

   Anyways, it's not rocket science. If you really want to paint something, which wouldn't be nearly as attractive in my humble opinion, just go with a run-of-the-mill product like Hardie Plank. They make vertical siding products (https://www.jameshardie.com/products/hardiepanel-vertical-siding?loc=refresh). It likely won't come in 26' lengths but, as mentioned, you can overcome this limitation.

   Anyways, it's not complicated. If you really want to paint something, which wouldn't be nearly as attractive in my humble opinion, just go with a standard product like Hardie Plank. They make vertical siding products. It likely won't come in 26' lengths but, as mentioned, you can overcome this limitation.

   Thanks for this look. Aesthetically, I also like the natural look and how it could patina over time. But I also want easier upkeep/maintenance hence I figured paint would wear better over time. We will be putting standing seam metal
   roof as well for the maintenance and aesthetics also.
