CREATING A BALANCED APPEARANCE <br /> It's important to create a more "balanced" appearance FIRST PANEL <br /> across the wall; meaning, the batten strips appear to be Once the exposure for the first panel has been <br /> the same distance from both corners. The following calculated (Fig 3-4), measure from the edge above <br /> describes how to achieve this. the nailing slots across the panel the calculated <br /> measurement plus 3/8" to compensate for the <br /> • Using a chalk line, strike a plumb line 1/2" from the lock on the panel. <br /> furring strips on both the starting side and the ending <br /> side. <br /> • Divide the length of the wall in inches by 8 (Fig. 3) <br /> • Then divide any fraction of a panel into 2.
