Diy Tongue And Groove Pine Ceiling Planks
Cut and position the next board.
Diy tongue and groove pine ceiling planks. 2 you have to seat the tongues and grooves together and they don t always want to marry. Carefully work the tongue into the groove and again nail along the v groove side near the tongue. 1 you re usually working over your head. Tongue and groove boards mine were 3 4 thick 5 1 8 wide and 8 long.
Use the framing gun to add a nail to the tongue of the plank and secure in place. For the next piece you will connect the groove of the new piece into the tongue of the first piece. Ultimately i chose these pine boards from lowes which are a little over 3 wide 5 16 thick and 8 long. A nail gun nails i wouldn t even attempt this with a hammer it will take forever.
Installing tongue and groove walls can be a real workout. And they are super lightweight so i could easily lift them. Two down lots more to go. Groove facing the wall tongue facing out.
Make sure to get extra for cut and damaged boards. I like pine because it s lightweight and easy to work with. 3 tongue and groove isn t always flat so you have to force the boards together to get them seated. Start with your first piece.
I used 2 long 18 gauge finishing nails though 16 gauge will.
