With the perimeter framing in place, determine and mark the layout for the vertical battens. The video suggests spacing battens on 16-inch centers for a traditional look. Use a measuring tape to accurately mark these dimensions along the wall, both near the top and bottom framing pieces, to ensure consistent vertical alignment. Use a pencil to make clear, light marks.
