When did YT become people simply recording themselves utilizing store bought products? "I bought this thing, and installed it per the manufacturers instructions; heres a video." 🤨
Mistake not taking the baseboards off and running the slats all the way down to the floor. Looks goofy with the white baseboards below , good job either way
Yep, that is one option but then you're going to perhaps see some unsightly materials in the gap between the drywall and carpet in the spaces between the slats. I opted to go flush with the baseboard since the baseboard was square and has a nice flush finish.
Glad you went the prefab route; it definitely looks great with the layout you designed. The shelves take it to another level! Can't wait to see what the space looks like once you've set it up 🙌🏽
According to their website, the other method is to use construction glue (like liquid nails) and literally stick it to the wall. This obviously means it's permanent and couldn't be removed without destroying the panels or drywall. The screws hold the panels close to the wall and I've had no issues at all.
@StevenLanham Hmm... My wall is concrete. So I guess the worst that can happen is that it will peel the paint off. Imagine all those screw holes in a concrete wall. The other option I have is to make a wooden/sheetrock frame against my wall and then add those slats to the wall.
Yes, it's going into regular drywall. I used #8×1-1/2" Black Truss Head Wood Screws (Amazon) and I haven't had any issues. I wanted a more decorative screw but honestly a standard drywall screw would have worked well (or even better because of the fact that drywall screws are specifically used for drywall). The screws hold the panels nicely. I followed the recommendations of the manufacturer in terms of screw spacing and placement.
@@dominickcally2735 yeah, that's what I did. The manufacturer provides screw placement guides which I followed and I haven't had a problem. They aren't supporting any weight so the screws simply "hold" the panels to the wall (as opposed to fastened or mounted which implies a more significant bond). I wanted these to be removable in the event I move out of this rented space.
Great question. I just drilled straight in. They are just intended to hold the panels against the wall as they aren't weight bearing. Putting in plugs would have been insanely tedious and overkill. That said, another option might have been to reduce the number of screws significantly and use plugs (i.e. at the corners).

Good work but you didn’t show the whole picture of room after installation in a wide angle. Should have done that!
Great video! Were the screws sturdy enough to hold the panels in place without drywall anchors?
That was great. All explained really well. Looks very impressive😊

Can the screw stick tight to the wall? Or is there anything that can hold it very well

@@techfeanology6437 what if my wall is not concrete
Can plaster hold it ?
I’m guessing you used a square assuming your skirting and ceiling is completely level?
Really nice video I feel more confident to purchase
Thank you. Great video. I can install them now.
I may of missed it, are you just screwing into the drywall or the studs? Thanks
How To Buy This
Amazing work! do you have a link for the shelves?
Thanks for the comment and here's the link: a.co/d/9qjTWFz
@@StevenLanham woohoo! thanks!
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏 Thank You For Tutorials. I am impressed. I love it. Someday, I would do it.
Major dust and bug collectors...
Is this a Dry wall you doing this and does the screw hold this in there

Thank you very much I hope I will have the same result like you
So you don’t have to hit studs . Just screw into the drywall itself ?

Great details! Thank you!
This is one heck of a video mate. Patience and perseverance = perfection! Well done and thanks for sharing all the details!
Hey appreciate the kind words - cheers!
Absolutely beautiful job 😀
هذا عمل جميل ورائع جدا
Amazing
Thanks
Great video
Hi, did you use plugs for the holes or just screw straight into the wall? Thank you 😊

Why did you stick some garden fencing to your bedroom wall, lad?
Would love to see your gaff 😂
Horrible!!
