Hoe kinne jo in muorre beklaaie mei stien-stien beklaaid

Stap 1: Oersjoch foar hoe't jo in muorre yn stien beklaaie

TIMELINE:

• Dag 1: Prep the site and install the first course (Steps 2–10).
• Dag 2: Finish and cap the wall (Steps 11–18).

Stap 2: Meitsje de muorre

To calculate the number of universal corners to order, measure the height in inches of each outside wall corner, as shown, divide by 16, and round up to the nearest whole number. You’ll fill the area between the corners with flat panels. To calculate how many you’ll need, multiply the wall’s width by its height in feet and divide the resulting area by 2 (each panel covers 2 square feet). Subtract the number of universal corners from the result, then add 10 percent to your order of flat panels. Add one universal corner to be safe.

Stap 3: Skilderje de boaiem om de muorre foar te meitsjen

The panels must be installed above ground level, resting on a plastic support called a starter strip, so you’ll want to paint the wall below the strip to match the stone. Find a spray-paint color similar to the palette of your stone panels and paint the bottom few inches of the wall.

Stap 4: Ynstallearje de Starter Strip om de earste kursus te meitsjen

Set the location for the starter strip, at least 2 inches above any soil. Here, the strip’s lip aligns with the top of a stair on the adjacent side of the corner. Fit your drill/driver with a 3/16-inch masonry bit and drill a pilot hole through a slot in the strip near the corner and into the wall. Drive in a masonry screw to secure that end, then use the 4-foot level to bring the strip to level, and mark a line, as shown. Drill pilot holes and fasten the strip in two or three more spots, maintaining level.

Stap 5: Ferwiderje de ljepper

Flat panielen hawwe in ljepper oan eltse kant dy't meshes mei slots op oanswettende platte panielen, mar moat wurde fuorthelle út elts ein dat foarmet in hoeke. Rêst it paniel nei boppe op in wurkflak en brûk it blêd fan it 5-in-1-ark om de ljepper ôf te slaan, lykas werjûn. De resultearjende platte râne sil meitsje foar in strakke hoeke.

Stap 6: Markearje it paniel

Eltse run begjint by in hoeke, mei it ôfmakke ein fan in universele hoeke oerlappe de ein fan in plat paniel (mei de ljepper fuorthelle). Earst wurdt de universele hoeke yn twa stikken snijd; de ôfmakke râne fan elk stik begjint in kursus, en de cut râne butts yn in plat paniel. Foar estetyk, snij de universele hoeke sadat elk stik op syn minst 8 inch lang is. Of, lykas yn ús gefal, snij it om te passen tsjin de trep riser: Rêst in plat paniel op 'e neistlizzende kant yn' e starter strip, dan draaie de universele hoeke op 'e kop, butt syn ôfmakke râne tsjin de trap riser, en skriuw in cutline , lykas oanjûn.

Stap 7: Snij nei lingte

Rêst it markearre paniel nei ûnderen op in wurkflak mei skrapboerden derûnder oan beide kanten fan 'e cutline. Brûk in rjochthoeke om in kwadraat-off cutline te markearjen lâns it smelste punt fan 'e skreaune line. Fit de sirkelseage mei in segmentearre diamantblêd en snij lâns de line, gean troch it beton en ek de metalen spikerstrip. Wês wis dat jo in feiligensbril, in stofmasker en gehoarbeskerming drage.

Stap 8: Befestigje it earste paniel

Hold the cut universal corner against the wall, bringing its finished end flush with the face of the adjacent flat panel so that the two pieces form a 90° outside corner. Level the universal corner, and drill pilot holes through the nailing strip, as shown, directly through the metal if necessary, in at least two places. Fasten the panel with 1¼-inch self-tapping masonry screws.

Foai: Hâld jo bit spinnen om stof te ferwiderjen as jo de boar út 'e pilotgat weromsette, wêrtroch't de mitselwurkskroef yn it beton kin tapasse.

Stap 9: Finish de Run

Trochgean mei it ynstallearjen fan platte panielen yn folsleine grutte, wurkje jo wei yn 'e kursus. As jo ​​tichtby it ein, mjitte en snije in diel paniel te foljen it ein fan de kursus. As it besunige stik in ljepper oan beide kanten hat, brûk dan it 5-in-1-ark om it ôf te slaan. Fier it stik yn plak, boarje pilot gatten, en skroef it oan 'e muorre.

Stap 10: Ynstallearje de twadde hoeke

Use the cut half of the universal corner from the first course, positioned on the opposite side of the corner to stagger the joints. Slip the tongue on its bottom edge into the groove on top of the flat panel beneath. Position a flat panel, with its tab removed, atop the universal corner in the first course. Be sure it’s cut to a different length than the piece beneath, to offset the joints across the wall. Mark and drill pilot holes for the universal corner, secure it, and install the adjacent flat panel to complete the corner.

Stap 11: Aligne oanbuorjende panielen

Work along the course, brushing out debris from the top groove to ensure that the panels fit together snugly. As you set each new panel, make sure that it’s aligned with the previous panel by nestling a ¼-inch metal rod in the groove along the top edge. The rod should lie flat and bridge the grooves in adjacent panels. If it doesn’t, use the 5-in-1 tool to shim the panel up, or back several screws out of the previous panel and adjust it. When the panels align, drill pilot holes and fasten them to the wall.

Stap 12: Stagger de gewrichten

If the end of a panel falls in line with a joint on any of the previous courses, you’ll want to cut down its length slightly to maintain staggered joints. Hold the panel in place and mark the nailing strip at a different length. Transfer the mark to the back of the panel, cut it to size, and fasten it to the wall.

Stap 13: Panielen snije om de boppeste kursus te passen

On the final course, you’ll need to cut down the height of the panels to fit, removing the nailing strip so that the stone reaches to the top of the wall. Rest a flat panel in place and scribe a cutline on the back at the height of the wall. Set the panel on a work surface, and use the circular saw to cut it to the proper height. You may want to cut your corner pieces to length first, then cut them to the proper height, as shown. Dry-fit the two pieces at the corner to check the fit.

Stap 14: Lijm de stikken

Fuortsmite de hoeke panielen en tapasse rjochte kralen fan konstruksje adhesive op 'e rêch fan elk stik yn fertikale rint, sa't shown, sadat wetter is frij om te streamen efter de panielen en drain goed. Set de panielen yn plak op 'e muorre en oanpasse se om te passe by de hoeke.

Stap 15: Sink de Fasteners

Om fierder feilich te stellen de cut-down panielen, locate ferskate plakken op elk dêr't jo kinne sinke in fastener inconspicuously yn gewrichten tusken stiennen. Hâld it stik yn plak, boarje in pilot gat troch it paniel en yn 'e muorre. Ryd yn in mitselwurk skroef, sinking de holle ûnder it oerflak fan it paniel. Dekke de skroefkoppen mei caulk, sammelje wat stof fan 'e snijtafel, en blaze it op' e droege caulk om it te kamouflearjen. Jo kinne alle gatten op deselde manier oanreitsje. Finish ynstallaasje fan de panielen yn 'e lêste kursus.

Stap 16: Snij de kapstiennen

Selektearje in kapstien ferskate inch breder as de djipte fan jo beklaaide muorre om in oerhang te meitsjen. Meitsje en markearje de kapstiennen om by de boppekant fan 'e muorre te passen. Brûk de sirkelseage en it segmentearre diamantblêd om op lingte te snijen, lykas werjûn.

Stap 17: Stel de stien yn om de muorre te dekken

Wurkje mei in partner, til de kapstiennen op en droech se boppe op 'e muorre. Fuortsmite se en tapasse konstruksje adhesive oan 'e top fan' e muorre en de rânen fan 'e fineer foardat reset de stiennen; of, as jo leaver in noch mear autentike útstrieling, set se yn in stive mortel bed. Nim no in stap werom en fernuverje oer it naadleaze uterlik.
