Following this video right now as I am doing our nursery number 2 room 😂 thank you!!!

[@Blackgirlspeak22019]

Finally! A simple and beginner friendly video!

[@theweekendbuilder]

Hey! I posted another accent wall video a few months ago that is a lot better if you want to check it out!

[@pollyflinders6003]

Well done! You are the first person who has actually provided me with a simple, uncomplicated step by step process that I think will work.

[@theweekendbuilder]

I’m really glad you found it helpful!

[@sydneyjuarez2882]

thanks for the easy tutorial! gonna try this in my baby girls nursery 🤞🏼🤓

[@laveniad8349]

Thank you. You made it look so easy. I’m definitely going to attempt to finally do my laundry wall.

[@theweekendbuilder]

That’s awesome!

[@meggarstang6761]

Excellent video! I have all of these tools already.

[@Nailedityt]

Dude awesome video!! I love the shirt as well, that’s a nice touch! 😉

[@designerdye8055]

Looks so good. Great reference for my own DIY project I’m putting together! Thanks!

[@theweekendbuilder]

Glad it helped!

[@pats2538]

I want to install these batten wall and I watched many other video but you made it very easy, not complicated, thank you

[@AlexGray]

What a difference, I’ll definitely be doing this. Thanks!!

[@theweekendbuilder]

Right? If you’ve done this already, I hope it turns out well!

[@MrChris4251]

Great work! make sure to caulk all the seems to prevent cracks in the joints from showing when the wood expands and contracts. Also, make sure to cover the nail holes with plaster or wood filler, otherwise the paint will dry and contract, and you will be left with some tiny divets where the paint didn't totally fill the hole left by the finish nails. Consider making miter cuts at the corners to make a smoother look as well.
Otherwise, great and simple project! I like the color, looks pretty.

[@rm-on9co]

Thanks you’re for sharing so so nice

[@frankandmo]

👍 I’m going to try this

[@theweekendbuilder]

Awesome! I just did another one of these the other day. I’ll be posting a video of that in a couple weeks. That could help give more insight!

[@ayushj190]

Great idea!

[@theweekendbuilder]

Thanks!

[@LaToyaColeman-lm6uz]

What size finish nails did you use?

[@antmof94]

Are those nails just going into the drywall?

[@msjulie9592]

Looks great! What color paint did you use?

[@davemaksymiuk4805]

use painters tape when caulking leaves a clean line

[@alyecerodgers4186]

What color is the wall?

[@TornadoSun]

Tried this and it was harder than I anticipated. My ceiling is over half inch higher left to right, the corners on the left and right side are also not plumb. So had to scribe wider boards. And using the dap to fill in gaps didn't work as well. 😢

[@chadspinalbosd007]

Do you have texture on the wall?

[@theweekendbuilder]

I do not

[@كورديليا-ر2ط]

How wide is the wall and how high is it?

[@Todopoderoso23]

Nice bro

[@ruchiagarwal5750]

can you pls specify the distance between the vertical panels? also the color used, its beautiful!

[@theweekendbuilder]

The color is called Forrest green. I am not able to get the distance at this exact moment but I believe it is around 26”

[@Ουρανία-ψ7σ]

Use olive green outlet plate covers, or get a dark floral, low key wallpaper to cover the outlets. The contrast is too much for that wall.
Great vid, show us your cuts more next time.
Please use a latex glove when calling to give a much smoother finish. Hold caulking gun at an angle, never straight on.

[@battlefield4madness549]

Definitely made It look easy! The only thing is I wish you would have said what the space is between each one, I'm wondering for the one I'm going to do what us a good space in between each board, other than that you make this look like 1,2,3 👍 👌

[@theweekendbuilder]

Thank you! I didn’t include it because it just winged it and did what looked good for my space. Honestly, whatever spacing you use will look good as long as it is even.

[@chriswhitaker7833]

What gauge brad nails did you use?

[@theweekendbuilder]

I used 16 gauge finish nails

[@MovieMakingMan]

Looks great! Was the wall textured. Or did you remove it earlier?

[@theweekendbuilder]

The wall had a very slight knockdown texture

[@theweekendbuilder]

And I didn’t remove it. You may just have to caulk between the battens and the wall

[@jondellstephens6413]

What's the name of the paint color you used?

[@theweekendbuilder]

I don’t have the exact number for it. But I got it at Home Depot and it’s called forest green

[@rafbeard4975]

Not to mention you need a nice big work table...

[@Mr_sanders5]

Yeah big tables are hard to come by huh
