What is the best way to install this product? I haven't received it yet and was planning on using it for wainscoting. Nails? Heavy duty glue?

Glue. May split the bamboo with nails. But you will want to tack it up between the pieces of bamboo until the glue dries, then remove the tacks.

The best way is with both glue and staples. The glue will help hold it more securely. You can use staples to attach to the walls. Thank you.

Our contractor is going to install it this week. He suggested using heavy duty glue with a few finishing nails to hold it from slipping while the glue drys.

We used carpenter's glue and it worked well. We adhered it to vinyl to cover up the bottom of a bar to turn it "tiki"

You should first drill holes in the block wall (using appropriate size carbide drill bit), install plastic anchors, then use screws. An alternative method would be to use heavy duty velcro with two-sided tape. Any Home Depot or Lowes store Associate can explain in more detail.

I used this youtube video to figure out how to do it. It's a great video and gives great tips. Main tips to answer your question: Start w/ a nail sized portion, and start working it in at the back... add more later if needed. Good luck! Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Tf6Tp3jTY

I would not just hang it with nails, I would use some clips, securely fastened, it is not light weight.

There should be a couple of small nails left in the package. Take one and nail it at a slight angle like mounting a picture on the wall through the strap. You don't need to find studs in wall. Push the unit right against the wall and draw the strap tight and pound the other nail all the way into the top of the unit. There will be very little force so it doesn't take much to hold everything in place. The nails were the ones you used to hold the back panel on. Nails work best, but if no nails there should be a couple of screws left or get a couple of nails at Walmart. You must secure the unit to the wall as it will tip forward.

I absolutely LOVE mine. The only problem I had in installation was the fact that the ceiling was so close to the trim, I had difficulty gaining enough leverage to pound the nail it. Using a screw gun was impossible. BUT, I got it done by turning the hammer sideways. You would have to install some type of molding at the top of the window in order to secure the bracket. It only takes 1 nail, just one...so easy. I would find something decorative or even plain, wide enough for the bracket and thick enough, so it doesn't split, and screw it to the wall above the window. You can paint it the same color as the walls and it would be virtually invisible (the bracket would cover it for the most part). I absolutely LOVE mine.

Alas, I had my contractor install it. I will tell you that I believe it was applied with a type of adhesive (liquid nails?) and then caulked. No screws to my knowledge. It's a lovely piece.

We used screws on each panel through the metal into our deck, then we used metal rope with tighteners like they use for clothes lines in the corners inside and out. I tried to purchase just their anchoring kit from the company direct but the woman would not sell it to me because we didn't buy from them directly. Amazon was almost two hundred dollars cheaper to order and I got free shipping with my PRIME membership. The company charges 140.oo to ship! LOVE AMAZON.

I had to get a long 2X4, had to replace the top polls. I cut a few pieces in different lengths and then I drilled holes and put screws with bolts. Be sure to get the right size screws so that it doesn't punch threw to long. Some places I was able to just use long nails. I hope I was able to help. I pretty much had to put new polls in for extra support. Although I did have to elimanite one shelf. I wish there was a way that I can send you a picture of mine. If you were to replace the polls you can get rope and wrap it around the 2X4.

Does not come with glue. I used liquid nails. Then I used carpet tacks to nail under the bull nose of the front of the step. Works great!

I used a 3/16 concrete drill bit to make the hole in the concrete before I realized that the hanging hole on the décor was too large (not small) to fit. I then used picture hanging wire to go from the décor hanger to the concrete nail. I hope it will hold during hurricane season. Looks lovely.

Use a nail to gently poke a hole, put the bottom post through the hole then screw on the stud. :)

I guess it depends on your wall material, but I used two small nails. It's tricky to get it straight to hang straight though.

If you are actually building the box of a cabinet I would recommend screws. In theory the nails would work, but they will loosen.

I used my Dewalt finishing nailer. Remember to nail into the wall, not the floor. Leave a small gap between moulding and floor to allow for expansion of the pergo.

I used liquid nails. It comes "pre-pasted", but the included adhesive is weak, and normal wallpaper paste is not suitable for keeping this stuck to a ceiling.

nail hook comes along with the product. That needs to be fixed back side. You may check the mark if you open the top board and remove the cloth slightly down.
