What to do to walls before boarding?

Agree, I've been in new shops that specifically put up cladding inside to get that look!

That settles it then.... the easiest option. Balls to boarding!

I searched to find if anyone has ever had plasterboard fall off the wall, and all I found was someone who had kitchen cabinets fall off the wall, and someone who had an expensive TV fall off the wall and smash through 2 glass shelves.
So it may be a non issue in the end.

The trick is, everyone puts up at least one picture on the wall. So as long as our Kazakhian friend uses at least one 6" nr 12 screw and resin anchor to hold the family portrait up, then the boarding will be sound.

Never fear, I have big 6” screw..... and some gypsy tears
