Once all vertical battens are installed, measure and cut the horizontal battens to fit between them. Apply construction adhesive to the back of each horizontal piece and position it on the wall, ensuring it's level and flush with the vertical battens. Use a laser level for accuracy and secure the horizontal battens with a nail gun. Continue until the entire grid pattern is complete.
