How to Install Board and Batten Up a Staircase Wall · Step 3 of 8

After the baseboards and top rail are installed, precisely measure the vertical distance between the top of the baseboard and the bottom of the top rail for each batten location. Walls can vary, so measure each individual space. Use your pre-cut, oversized vertical batten pieces and mark the exact length needed. Use a miter saw to cut each batten to its precise length. This ensures a tight fit and minimizes gaps. The video creator used SketchUp to plan the spacing, aiming for five battens to achieve a 'beefier' look and ensure visually pleasing spacing.
