brad nailer

• Jigsaw or small

hand saw

• Level

• Miter saw

or miter box

• Nails

• Paint

Before Installation

1 Allow the wood to acclimate for several days prior to

installation in the room in which it will be installed.

Variances in temperature and moisture between

the storage and application areas have a negative

effect on the ﬁnished appearance, so it’s important

to allow the product to adjust to room conditions

prior to installation.

2 As wood dries, a slight joint may open up. Note: It is

recommended to paint the surface behind the wood

a dark color prior to installation.

Installation

1 Measure Wall Using a tape measure, measure the height

and width of your wall in inches. Multiply the height

times the width, then divide the total by 144 to get the

approximate square feet you will need to cover (add 10%

for cutting and waste). Each weathered wood box contains

enough material to cover 10.3 square feet.

2 Prepare Surface Clean the surface with soapy water,

then remove nails and outlet covers. Paint the wall with

a dark complementary color to help hide gaps. Wood

may expand and contract over time, leaving slight gaps

between boards (Figure 1).

3 Locate Studs Using a stud ﬁnder, mark the stud locations

on the wall. (Studs are typically spaced 16 inches on center.)

4 Deﬁne Pattern You may want to consider a vertical

staggered, horizontal staggered, herringbone or

diagonal staggered pattern to complement your decor.

See Figure 2 for pattern options. (Vertical installation

requires additional steps. Figure 5).

5 Draw Reference Line Determine your starting point.

Using a level and pencil, draw a straight line (or snap

a chalk line) across the area on which you’ll place the

boards. This will ensure your starting point is level. If you

are installing a full wall, it is best to start at the ﬂoor and

work your way up. Always start with a level line. Floors

and ceilings may vary. (Figure 3).

6 Install Boards on Reference Line For a permanent installation, apply a liberal amount of construction adhesive, per the manufacturer’s instructions, to the back of your board before nailing in place. Place the first board along your reference line and press it onto the wall. Make sure this board is level, then nail into studs. (For a semipermanent installation, attach your board with nails only.) Continue adding pieces end-to-end following your reference line.
