    Default Vertical batten screen (indoors)

    I came across these in pinterest, can anyone tell me how to install vertical battens directly from floor to ceiling? I cant figure out how to secure them. Angled nails? Hidden and putty over?

    There is another design which has a horizontal piece on top and at the bottom, so I figured out one could make the screen first then just attach it to the ceiling joists and floor.

    Not sure about the top couple, maybe screwed then filled, but the bottom one has a top and bottom plate which you could fix in place then insert the uprights and glue and screw or pin nail. You could preassemble the whole frame, but be careful with the height as standing it up could easily foul on the ceiling

    Still cant figure out. If I cut battens to its length of the floor to ceiling height, then how do I put it into position?

    I have to lift it up to its straight position and definitely the edges will scrap the ceiling, since the diagonals are a little longer than floor to ceiling height.

    It is more than likely you will need to repaint after it is all installed.
    The attachments are no longer valid but assuming a ceiling height of 2400 and using 45mm thick battens you will have interference of less than 1mm.
    If you are using the blocks top and bottom, install the blocks first then the verticals slip right in.

    i'd be putting something at the top and bottom

    the living room did something semi similar, but it needed to be removable because it was in an apartment

    i don't normally put much credence in shows like this but if it gives you some inspiration no harm done
