I used wood paneling in my shed. Don't worry about how it's used. I don't have a dry wall. The paneling I have was very sturdy. No dry wall is needed. I only use studs to hang cabinets, mirrors, and basically heavy items. If I mount something without using a stud, then I will use a butterfly anchor bolt. My paneling has been up for 2 years, and I have no problems.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Rebuilding in the basement post flood damage. I've got the studs in place and weighing my options. Thanks for your input. I like your style, I work much like you, cross those bridges when you have to, it will all come together.
Yeah I try to think through every choice. And sometimes I get it wrong, but I learn a lesson each time. I redid my tackroom in the barn recently and used 1/4" plywood instead of beadboard this time. It also worked pretty well.
Ty for your thoughts. I did the same thing to my craft room. But I didn't put the wood in first under the seam, so now it's bowed, I got to figure out what to do to fix it without taking it down. 😮
Thank you!!! I'm finishing a basement room and had 9 ft ceilings with 8 ft panels. I was trying to decide whether to leave the top or bottom different. Now that you mentioned that they break down with water easily, I'm going to put decorative baseboard and hang them high. Thank you so much for your video!
Good luck! I think it adds a few extra issues that would have been solved by putting drywall underneath but we have issues with transporting big panels. This has worked for this shed.
To avoid those gaps, you gotta properly connect them together, they designed just like flooring with tongue and gove and you didn't apply enough pressure
Great video! Can you share how you covered the top foot? I’m going to have about an 8” gap, myself and I’m trying to troubleshoot before I get started. Love your channel!
Actually, sheet rock can and will get moisture behind it given the amount of humidity encountered. Spraying an anti bacterial/ anti microbial/ anti mold solution (many kinds are available) in the space behind the paneling, and on the back of the paneling is a good idea, But! Make sure to use a respirator that is rated for gas. The dust/pollen masks won't do the job.
I will be installing one sheet horizontally up high on a 6'10" tall wall behind the laundry sink and machine in the basement. The wall is extra deep, so thinking of putting the washer hose box set back behind the panel with some sort of panel door but maybe we are overthinking it and should just have it exposed.
Thanks for the information. I've only ever used paneling over drywall, so knowing the full length 2x4 is helpful. Also, that corner trip piece is on the money. My tiny home will be helped a great deal by the info. Do you have a rhyme/reason for where you used silicone caulk and where you used expanding foam?
Possibly not. I think I tried to use the expanding foam was for any areas where hot/cold air or bugs could enter. I think using it over drywall would be a LOT easier if you plan to hang things up... I added cabinets to one short wall, and then haven't hung anything else yet. I need to puzzle out the best way to hang stuff up when I don't have two close studs. But I didn't have any way to transport 4x8 sheets of drywall and skipping that cut costs quite a bit- especially considering how much things cost during this pandemic.
Thank you so. this is exactly what I am doing with my cabin shed. Did not know the concept for doing this especially the 2x 4 studs supports. Can u use molding for gaps with two panels install? 8 foot ceiling ? I going for corrugated ceiling. R13 batts and baffle air gap to puck vents on soffits ceiling and walls.
You can use moulding. I have also seen an alternative to beadboard that's actually fire-safe... it's pvc interlocking panels. I've been eyeballing them but haven't worked with them yet or seen costs. Tempting option for my next build though. It looks easy to clean.
Thank you for posting. I am trying to cover a loft with only studs. I want to use brick panels, lots of info on u tube about brick panels, but nothing I can find for covering studs. I thought about using scrap pieces where the panels dont reach a stud, it seems ,based on what you posted, a full 2x4 inserted in between studs would be more stable.
I definitely wish I'd done the full 2x4 in more areas... cutting the horizontal ones worked, but wasn't really as good. BUT 2x4s were like $12/each when I first started this and I liked using scraps.... if I did it again and prices were down to $6 or less per 2x4, I'd probably use full 2x4s at each seam.
How did you hang them on the studs? Nails? Glue? I’m in a rental and just want this look for the aesthetic and not to spend a bunch on a house I don’t own, we spend a lot of time in the basement bc it’s so large, but unfinished…landlord says do whatever I want to it, of course
@@doityourselfdanielle thank you! I hung some in my store but it was on brick and we only used glue, so I was wondering about studs and it being so thin it causing breakage to the board!
Which part 😂... The individual outlets were installed by my husband but the box and electrical wiring was run by a licensed electrician. And the mini split was installed by a licensed... HVAC technician I think? I'm not 100%. But the stuff the most expensive contractor installed was a nightmare... We had water come up through the electric panel. 🙄
@@doityourselfdanielle I guess going with the 1/2" panels would be a bit stronger, but also, a little more expensive! Thanks for the feedback, Danielle! 😊
I would NOT do anything that isn't to code in your home. This was for a verrrrry small shed and we aren't living in it. But I think if you get drywall put up and put this over it, it will be easy and do the trick for you. And I think you can skip mudding the walls if you put this over it instead of painting ;)
@@doityourselfdanielle lol stuff takes time,I recommended using blue painters tape on the sides,helps with less mess and better lines. And wet your finger in water while wiping the caulk down
Fire code says drywall then paneling. My brick ranch was built in 1968. Where there's 4x8 paneling there's no drywall underneath. So instead of having a matchbox house that can go up in flames in minutes I'm installing drywall and new paneling. There's a reason why it is the new code. People die.
