What is a good backer board for brick slips

[Post and beam]

I have a need to use brick slips in a porch location where we expected to use full size bricks.  If this turns out to be a viable solution i need to mount them to some kind of board. So does anyone have a recommendation that is known to be effective please?

would say any of the cement fibre boards eg hardie and others would be suitable.  No experience myself so would wait for someone who has trodden this path before to chime in.  What's the substrate?

Any reputable cement board. 
How will you be fixing them to the structure?

I wondered if hardie backer board would be stiff enough but in parallel to asking on here i had a google about. There is a specific board available for just exactly this requirement. It even has horizontal ridges to make the task easier.

Because of a weird quirk with the Sips build ( i think mistake, from the TF supplier) the open porch is constructed in Sips panels and 38mm battens just like the internals of the house. It is insulated just like indoors as well.

So the Backer board will be fixed to 38mm battens.

I used Bluclad board for my brick slip clad plinth.
