Ki jan yo rekouvèr yon miray nan wòch-wòch rekouvèr

Etap 1: Apèsi sou fason pou revèti yon miray nan wòch

KRONÈ:

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

Etap 2: Mezire miray la

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.

Etap 3: Penti anba a pou prepare miray la

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.

Etap 4: Enstale Starter Strip la pou prepare premye kou a

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.

Etap 5: Retire Tab la

Panno plat yo gen yon tab sou chak bò ki may ak fant sou panno plat adjasan men li bezwen retire nan nenpòt ki fen ki fòme yon kwen. Repoze panèl la fas anlè sou yon sifas travay epi sèvi ak lam zouti 5-an-1 pou kraze tab la, jan sa montre. Kwen plat la ki kapab lakòz pral fè yon kwen sere.

Etap 6: Make Panel la

Chak kouri kòmanse nan yon kwen, ak fen a fini nan yon kwen inivèsèl sipèpoze nan fen yon panèl plat (ak tab la retire). Premyèman, kwen inivèsèl la koupe an de moso; kwen an fini nan chak moso kòmanse yon kou, ak kwen nan koupe bou nan yon panèl plat. Pou estetik, koupe kwen inivèsèl la pou chak moso se omwen 8 pous nan longè. Oswa, tankou nan ka nou an, koupe li anfòm kont monte eskalye a: Repoze yon panèl plat sou bò adjasan nan teren an starter, Lè sa a, vire kwen inivèsèl la tèt anba, bouche kwen fini li sou monte eskalye a, epi ekri yon liy koupe. , jan yo montre.

Etap 7: Koupe nan longè

Repoze panèl ki make a fas anba sou yon sifas travay ak ankadreman bouyon anba li sou chak bò liy koupe a. Sèvi ak yon regleman pou make yon liy koupe kare sou pwen ki pi etwat liy trase a. Anfòm sikilè a ak yon lam dyaman segmenté epi koupe sou liy lan, ale nan beton an kòm byen ke teren an kloure metal. Asire w ou mete linèt sekirite, yon mask pousye, ak pwoteksyon tande.

Etap 8: Tache Premye Panel la

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.

Konsèy: Kenbe ti moso ou a vire pou retire pousyè pandan w ap fè egzèsis la soti nan twou pilòt la, sa ki pèmèt vis masonry a antre nan beton an.

Etap 9: Fini kouri a

Kontinye enstale plen gwosè panno plat, travay wout ou desann kou a. Lè w toupre fen a, mezire epi koupe yon panèl pasyèl pou ranpli fen kou a. Si moso koupe a gen yon tab sou chak bò, sèvi ak zouti 5-an-1 pou frape l. Mete pyès la an plas, fè twou pilòt, epi vis li sou miray la.

Etap 10: Enstale dezyèm kwen an

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.

Etap 11: Aliman Panno adjasan yo

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.

Etap 12: Dekale jwenti yo

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.

Etap 13: Koupe Panno yo anfòm kou tèt la

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.

Etap 14: Kole moso yo

Retire panno kwen yo epi aplike pèl dwat nan adezif konstriksyon sou do a nan chak moso nan kouri vètikal, jan yo montre, pou dlo a gratis koule dèyè panno yo ak drenaj byen. Mete panno yo an plas sou miray la epi ajiste yo anfòm byen nan kwen an.

Etap 15: Koule Fastener yo

Pou plis sekirite panno koupe yo, lokalize plizyè tach sou chak kote ou ka koule yon Fastener discrète nan jwenti ant wòch yo. Kenbe pyès la an plas, fè egzèsis yon twou pilòt nan panèl la ak nan miray la. Kondwi nan yon vis masonry, plonje tèt la anba sifas panèl la. Kouvri vis yo ak kalfate, ranmase kèk pousyè nan tab la koupe, epi soufle l sou kalfat siye a pou kamouflaj li. Ou ka manyen nenpòt ki twou vid ki genyen nan menm fason an. Fini enstale panno yo nan kou final la.

Etap 16: Koupe Capstones yo

Chwazi yon capstone plizyè pous pi laj pase pwofondè miray rekouvèt ou a pou kreye yon debòde. Mezire epi make tèt yo pou anfòm sou tèt miray la. Sèvi ak sikilè a ak lam dyaman segmenté a pou koupe nan longè, jan yo montre.

Etap 17: Mete wòch la pou kouvri miray la

Travay ak yon patnè, leve capstones yo epi sèk-anfòm yo sou tèt miray la. Retire yo epi aplike adezif konstriksyon sou tèt miray la ak bor yo nan laparans la anvan reset wòch yo; oswa, si ou prefere yon gade menm plis natif natal, mete yo nan yon kabann mòtye rèd. Koulye a, pran yon etap tounen ak sezi nan gade nan san pwoblèm.
