Install the vertical battens one by one. Before attaching each batten, apply a generous S-shaped bead of construction adhesive to its entire back surface. Carefully position the batten on the wall, aligning its edges with the pencil marks made in the previous step. Once aligned, secure the batten in place using a nail gun with 2-inch finish nails, shooting nails through the batten into the wall. Repeat this process for all remaining vertical battens, ensuring each one is plumb and securely fastened.
