STEP 4: Install Paneling / LevelingBegin by placing a vertical piece in one corner. Use a level to ensure the pieces are straight.

STEP 2: Cut Panel Pieces to SizeFollowing the dimensions of your grid, cut your paneling pieces to size with a miter or hand saw.

STEP 5: Install Paneling / Secure PiecesWhen the pieces are straight you can secure them to the wall with a brad gun. Work your way across the wall from one corner to the next installing the vertical pieces first, then the horizontal.
