Composite Fence

Hi

I am installing composite fence on battens. It's ship lap so you screw in the first panel and the next panel slides over the screws etc. Do I need an expansion gap at the end of each row? I.e. don't fully butt the ends together. If I do this and leave a gap it takes away from the continuous run effect (it looks like cedar battens).

Thanks
 
Went out to take the picture this morning. I had the it butted together with no gaps but a gap has now formed. Given it was warm yesterday when the fence went up it may answer the question about expansion.
