width. Each layer has one or more pieces of varying length to complete the layer.
Q: My wall is 80x40 (inches) how many boxes would I need?
A: 80’’x 40’’ = 3200 sq inches divided by 144 = 22.5 sq  x 1.15 (assuming 15% loss for end trimming) = 25.5 sq
. thus you need 3 boxes. (long story short don’t make it complicated by saying 12x12)
Q: Can I apply a polyurethane clear coat, or would that remove the color?
A: Yes you can apply a clear nish. We recommend sanding the planks prior to applying nish. Moderate to
heavy sanding will remove the natural weathered look and leave the wood lighter. The more pana le on the
lumber will result in darker boards.
Q: Can I use an air brad gun to secure these to dry wall? 1.5inch brads?
A: Recommend the use of a brad air nailer on drywall with the majority of the nails penetrang the studs.
Planks are 3/8” thick and dry wall varies in thickness but is most commonly ½”. 1.5’’ length brad nails would be
perfect for most situaons

light color wall behind.
