Instructions

1
Mark the centre point by using a tape measure. Make sure that you mark the centre point in a way that it should be equal width and lengthwise. Uneven markings or lines will make the length and width go awry. Then use a chalk line to snap cross hairs and break one straight line from side to side

Now it is time to cut and shape your tin panels. After you have measured the tin, make sure it should be cut on the guillotine. If the edge is not against fence, you have probably messed up the shape of tin. You can use a suitable tin snips for cutting the tin panels. Using a larger tin snips will make the process much easier, as it levels the panel’s sides automatically.

You can now install your first piece. Make sure the side that was cut should be against the wall, or the panels will not fit, given their shape. Mark the hole on the uncut side that will meet the side of you second panel. Use the hammer to fix the drywall anchor into the marked holes and then fix them with screws.
