In this video
Before beginning the installation of the board and batten, ensure the wall surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Paint the entire wall with your chosen base color, which will be visible between the battens. Allow the paint to dry completely. Next, use a measuring tape and pencil to carefully plan the layout of your vertical batten pieces. Mark the positions where each batten will be installed, ensuring consistent spacing across the wall. A level should be used to draw plumb lines for accurate placement.
