TIPS & TRICKS

Leave ½” channel between furring strips to allow for your wiring.
Drill pilot holes in the furring strips prior to screwing them into the studs to prevent splitting.
For quick installation and smaller holes in the wood, use a staple gun to secure the cedar planks.
Offset the cedar plank seams for structural integrity and aesthetics.
Cut the holes for your lights and pull the electrical wire through as you install the cedar planks.
Cut the metal trim and drill pilot holes prior to painting it so the paint does not have any chipping or scratches.
