Conas Balla a Chladach i gClúdach Cloiche

Céim 1: Forbhreathnú ar Conas Balla a Chladach i gCloch

Amlíne:

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

Céim 2: Tomhais an Balla

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.

Céim 3: Péinteáil an Bun chun an Balla a Ullmhú

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.

Céim 4: Suiteáil an Stráice Tosaithe chun an Chéad Chúrsa a Ullmhú

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.

Céim 5: Bain an Tab

Tá cluaisín ag painéil chomhréidh ar gach taobh a mheileann sliotáin ar phainéil chomhréidh in aice láimhe ach is gá iad a bhaint as aon fhoirceann a dhéanann cúinne. Cuir aghaidh an phainéil ar dhromchla oibre agus bain úsáid as lann an uirlis 5-in-1 chun an cluaisín a bhualadh, mar a thaispeántar. Déanfaidh an imeall cothrom mar thoradh air sin cúinne daingean.

Céim 6: Marcáil an Painéal

Tosaíonn gach rith ag cúinne, le deireadh críochnaithe cúinne uilíoch forluí ar deireadh painéil chomhréidh (agus an cluaisín bainte). Gcéad dul síos, tá an cúinne uilíoch gearrtha ina dhá phíosa; tosaíonn imeall críochnaithe gach píosa cúrsa, agus bunaíonn an t-imeall gearrtha isteach i bpainéal cothrom. Le haghaidh aeistéitic, gearr an cúinne uilíoch ionas go mbeidh gach píosa ar a laghad 8 orlach déag ar fad. Nó, mar is é ár gcás, é a ghearradh chun luí in aghaidh an riser staighre: Cuir painéal comhréidh ar an taobh in aice leis sa stiall tosaithe, ansin casadh an cúinne uilíoch bun os cionn, cuir a imeall críochnaithe i gcoinne an riser staighre, agus scríobh gearrtha líne. , mar a thaispeántar.

Céim 7: Gearr go Fad

Cuir stop leis an bpainéal marcáilte aghaidh síos ar dhromchla oibre le dramhchláir faoina bhun ar gach taobh den ghearrlíne. Bain úsáid as ciumhais dhíreach chun gearrthalíne chearnach a mharcáil feadh an phointe is cúinge den líne scrofa. Feistigh an chonaic ciorclach le lann diamanta deighilte agus gearrtha ar feadh na líne, ag dul tríd an gcoincréit chomh maith leis an stiall tairneála miotail. Bí cinnte spéaclaí sábháilteachta, masc deannaigh agus cosaint éisteachta a chaitheamh.

Céim 8: Fasten an Chéad Painéal

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.

Leid: Coinnigh do ghiotán ag sníomh chun deannach a bhaint de agus tú ar ais ar an druil amach as an bpoll píolótach, ag ligean don scriú saoirseachta dul isteach sa choincréit.

Céim 9: Críochnaigh an Rith

Lean ort ag suiteáil painéil chomhréidh lánmhéide, ag oibriú do bhealach síos an cúrsa. Nuair a bheidh tú in aice leis an deireadh, tomhas agus gearrtha painéal páirteach chun deireadh an chúrsa a líonadh. Má tá cluaisín ar gach taobh den phíosa gearrtha, bain úsáid as an uirlis 5-in-1 chun é a bhualadh. Cuir an píosa i bhfeidhm, druileáil poill phíolótacha, agus scriú go dtí an balla é.

Céim 10: Suiteáil an Dara Cúinne

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.

Céim 11: Ailínigh Painéil In aice láimhe

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.

Céim 12: Stagger the Joints

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.

Céim 13: Painéil Gearr chun an Cúrsa is Fearr a Fheistiú

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.

Céim 14: Glue na Píosaí

Bain na painéil choirnéil agus cuir coirníní díreacha de ghreamaitheach tógála i bhfeidhm ar chúl gach píosa i ritheann ingearach, mar a thaispeántar, ionas go mbeidh uisce saor chun sreabhadh taobh thiar de na painéil agus draenáil i gceart. Socraigh na painéil i bhfeidhm ar an mballa agus iad a choigeartú a d'oirfeadh go snugly ag an choirnéal.

Céim 15: Doirteal na Dúntóirí

Chun na painéil ghearrtha a shlánú a thuilleadh, aimsigh roinnt spotaí ar gach ceann inar féidir leat ceanglóir a dhoirteadh go neamhfheiceálach in ailt idir clocha. Agus an píosa i bhfeidhm, druileáil poll píolótach tríd an bpainéal agus isteach sa bhalla. Tiomáin i scriú saoirseachta, go tóin poill an ceann faoi dhromchla an phainéil. Clúdaigh na cinn scriú le caulk, cruinnigh roinnt deannaigh ón mbord gearrtha, agus séideadh ar an gcailc thriomú é chun duaithníocht a dhéanamh air. Is féidir leat teagmháil a dhéanamh le bearnaí ar bith ar an mbealach céanna. Críochnaigh suiteáil na bpainéal sa chúrsa deiridh.

Céim 16: Gearr na Capstones

Roghnaigh leac-uachtair cúpla orlach níos leithne ná doimhneacht do bhalla cumhdaithe chun forchrainn a chruthú. Tomhais agus marcáil na leaca caipín le luí ar bharr an bhalla. Bain úsáid as an sábh ciorclach agus an lann diamanta deighilte chun fad a ghearradh, mar a thaispeántar.

Céim 17: Socraigh an Cloch go Cap the Wall

Agus tú ag obair le páirtí, ardaigh na clocha caipín agus cuir ar bharr an bhalla iad. Bain iad agus cuir greamachán tógála i bhfeidhm ar bharr an bhalla agus ar imill an veiníre roimh na clocha a athshocrú; nó, más fearr leat cuma níos barántúla, cuir i leaba righin moirtéal iad. Anois tóg céim siar agus iontas ar an cuma gan uaim.
