Cheaper alternatives to KompeFix?

It's been recommended I use KompeFix ventilation strip to keep the wood wall battens and horizontal cladding apart - presumably to avoid trapping moisture between adjacent wood and allow for a little movement. That is:

It's only GBP 2.22 per m - which sounds OK value until I figured out I needed about 750m / 1,700 quids worth. 

 

 

Are there any good alternatives?
