There are no panels or complications to the installation process, and only basic tools and fasteners are needed for installation, making it the perfect project for any DIYer.

This kit has all of the wood needed to create a board and batten wall without the cumbersome panels. Each kit includes a complete set of raw Poplar boards to cover a six-foot wall. Since Fortitude Wainscoting is made of raw American Poplar, it can be painted or stained to look like maple, walnut, or cherry. You can add timeless architectural detail to your foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms with wainscotting. Simply measure, nail, and paint or stain and enjoy a completely refreshed wall!

This video shows what is included in the Fortitude Wainscoting kit and how to lay out the Poplar pieces for your new accent wall. The hardwood purposely comes unfinished so that you can add your personal interior design style touch to the finish of your wall. Some DIY finish ideas include:

• Painting the wood the same color as your wall for a modern or farmhouse look.
• Whitewashing the Poplar for a more rustic accent wall.
• Staining the wainscot to add an organic and natural accent.

This is the first video in a 5 video series walking you through your DIY wainscotting installation. The next videos include the steps to prep your wall, install the base and shoe, install the header and vertical stiles, and install the horizontal pieces and shelf edge.
