Content: However, as you go, it's VERY important you mark which one is which so you don't get mixed up. Remember, each one is likely to be different. CUTTING YOUR PARTITION WALL BATTENS
Above, I'm cutting with a chop saw (also known as a mitre saw) for accuracy and it was already set up. However, there's nothing with a hand saw which I often use for structural timber. Or, you could even use a jigsaw. SCREWING THE PARTITION WALL TOGETHER
Once we've got all of our cuts (and haven't got them mixed up), we need to screw it all together. Because we have the right cuts, we're going to screw together away from our future partition wall. We lined up the battens with our 400mm pencil marks, then screwed together. My husband held them together while I screwed. PUTTING THE PARTITION WALL IN PLACE
Once built, we slotted the partition wall between the base piece and ceiling.
