I'm think about installing it myself but wondered whether others thought it could be done by a non-professional?
Ceiling height is approx 2.5m
This is how I imagine it would be done:
- use a stud detector to locate and mark where the studs are.
- install a batten over the dry wall securing to the studs (3 battens approx. 0.5m apart?)
- secure the slat wall to the battens
Does this method sound about right?
The only difficult bits I forsee are where the wall protrudes about 12" at 2 points. In which case I would use a circular saw to slice a sheet of slat wall (facing down) to size and use a corner insert to cover the cut.
Any thoughts?
