Mar a chladhas tu balla ann an còmhdach clach-chlach

Ceum 1: Sealladh farsaing air Mar a Chladaicheas tu Balla ann an Clach

Loidhne-tìm:

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

Ceum 2: Tomhais am 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.

Ceum 3: Paint am bonn gus am balla ullachadh

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.

Ceum 4: Stàlaich an Stiall Tòiseachaidh gus a’ Chiad Chùrsa ullachadh

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.

Ceum 5: Thoir air falbh an Tab

Tha taba aig pannalan còmhnard air gach taobh a bhios a’ ceangal le sliotan air pannalan còmhnard ri thaobh ach feumar an toirt air falbh bho cheann sam bith a tha na oisean. Cuir stad air aghaidh a’ phannail air uachdar obrach agus cleachd lann an inneil 5-in-1 gus an taba a leagail, mar a chithear. Bidh an oir còmhnard mar thoradh air sin a 'dèanamh oisean teann.

Ceum 6: Comharraich am Pannal

Bidh gach ruith a 'tòiseachadh aig oisean, le ceann crìochnaichte oisean uile-choitcheann a' dol thairis air deireadh pannal còmhnard (leis an taba air a thoirt air falbh). An toiseach, tha an oisean uile-choitcheann air a ghearradh ann an dà phìos; bidh oir crìochnaichte gach pìos a’ tòiseachadh cùrsa, agus bidh an oir gearraidh a’ dol a-steach do phannal còmhnard. Airson bòidhchead, gearraich an oisean uile-choitcheann gus am bi gach pìos co-dhiù 8 òirlich a dh 'fhaid. No, mar a tha sa chùis againn, gearraich e gus a bhith iomchaidh an aghaidh an riser staidhre: Cuir stad air pannal còmhnard air an taobh ri thaobh anns an stiall tòiseachaidh, an uairsin snìomh an oisean uile-choitcheann bun os cionn, cuir an oir chrìochnaichte aige an aghaidh riser na staidhre, agus sgrìobh gearradh-loidhne , mar a chithear.

Ceum 7: Gearr gu Fad

Cùm am pannal comharraichte aghaidh sìos air uachdar obrach le bùird sgrap fodha air gach taobh den loidhne gearraidh. Cleachd iomall dìreach airson gearradh-loidhne ceàrnagach a chomharrachadh air an àite as cumhainge den loidhne sgrìobhte. Cuir a-steach an t-sàbh cruinn le lann daoimean air a sgaradh agus gearradh air an loidhne, a 'dol tron ​​​​chruadhtan a bharrachd air an stiall ìnean meatailt. Dèan cinnteach gun cuir thu ort glainneachan sàbhailteachd, masg duslach, agus dìon claisneachd.

Ceum 8: Fasten a 'Chiad Phannal

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.

Gliocas: Cùm do chuid a’ snìomh gus duslach a thoirt air falbh fhad ‘s a bheir thu air ais an drile a-mach às an toll pìleat, a’ leigeil leis an sgriubha clachaireachd a dhol a-steach don chruadhtan.

Ceum 9: Crìochnaich an Run

Lean air adhart a’ stàladh pannalan còmhnard làn-mheud, ag obair air do shlighe sìos a’ chùrsa. Nuair a tha thu faisg air an deireadh, tomhas agus gearraich pàirt de phannal gus deireadh a 'chùrsa a lìonadh. Ma tha taba air a’ phìos gearraidh air gach taobh, cleachd an inneal 5-in-1 airson a leagail. Cuir a-steach am pìos na àite, drile tuill pìleat, agus sgriubha e ris a 'bhalla.

Ceum 10: Stàlaich an Dàrna Oisean

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.

Ceum 11: Co-thaobhadh Pannalan ri thaobh

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.

Ceum 12: Cuir stad air na 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.

Ceum 13: Gearr Pannalan gus a bhith iomchaidh don Chùrsa as Fheàrr

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.

Ceum 14: Glue na pìosan

Thoir air falbh na pannalan oisean agus cuir grìogagan dìreach de adhesive togail air cùl gach pìos ann an ruith dìreach, mar a chithear, gus am bi uisge saor a ’sruthadh air cùl na pannalan agus a’ drèanadh gu ceart. Suidhich na pannalan nan àite air a 'bhalla agus atharraich iad gus am bi iad a' freagairt gu math aig an oisean.

Ceum 15: Cuir fodha na Fasteners

Gus na pannalan gearraidh a dhèanamh nas tèarainte, lorg grunn spotan air gach fear far an urrainn dhut inneal-ceangail a chuir fodha gu neo-shoilleir ann an joints eadar clachan. A 'cumail a' phìos na àite, drile toll pìleat tron ​​​​phannal agus a-steach don bhalla. Siubhail ann an sgriubha clachaireachd, a 'dol fodha a' cheann fo uachdar a 'phannal. Còmhdaich na cinn sgriubha le caulk, cruinnich beagan duslach bhon bhòrd gearraidh, agus sèid e air a ’chaolc tiormachaidh gus a bhreabadh. Faodaidh tu beàrnan sam bith a suathadh san aon dòigh. Crìochnaich stàladh na pannalan anns a 'chùrsa mu dheireadh.

Ceum 16: Gearr na Capstones

Tagh clach-uaghach grunn òirlich nas fharsainge na doimhneachd a 'bhalla còmhdaichte agad gus mullach a chruthachadh. Tomhais agus comharraich na leacan-uaghach gus a bhith iomchaidh air mullach a’ bhalla. Cleachd an t-sàbh cruinn agus an lann daoimean sgaraichte airson gearradh gu fad, mar a chithear.

Ceum 17: Suidhich a 'Chlach gu Cap the Wall

Ag obair còmhla ri com-pàirtiche, tog na leacan-uaghach agus tiormaich iad air mullach a’ bhalla. Thoir air falbh iad agus cuir adhesive togail gu mullach a ’bhalla agus oirean an veneer mus cuir thu na clachan air ais; no, mas fheàrr leat sealladh eadhon nas dearbhte, cuir iad ann an leabaidh mortar stiff. A-nis gabh ceum air ais agus cuir iongnadh air an t-sealladh gun fhiosta.
