Good to know
Do I need to remove my baseboard?
No. The guide shows both ways: replace the baseboard with the bottom rail for the cleanest look, or set the rail on top of it.
What lumber do I use?
1x3 primed MDF or pine for battens and 1x4 for rails. The planner lets you use any width.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you get a download link on the thank-you page and by email. It's a zip with the PDF guide and the planner spreadsheet.
Will it open on my phone?
Yes. The PDF opens anywhere. The planner works in Excel or the free Google Sheets app. Bigger screens are easier for building.
Can I get a refund?
Because it's an instant download, sales are final. If a file won't open or you're stuck on a step, text 346-696-9804 and we'll make it right.
