How to Build Board and Batten Shutters

We just completed a makeover on a home near Nashville, Tennessee with Lowe’s. It was a chance to give a home a fresh new look for spring after a very harsh winter.
The home owner was wanting to add new shutters to their windows, so we built them some board and batten shutters.

Our Lowe’s helpers cut the boards to length and then assembled the shutters.
