Nigute Wambika Urukuta rwambaye amabuye

Intambwe ya 1: Incamake yuburyo bwo Kwambika Urukuta mu Kibuye

IGIHE:

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

Intambwe ya 2: Gupima Urukuta

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.

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.

Intambwe ya 4: Shyiramo Starter Strip kugirango utegure amasomo yambere

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.

Intambwe ya 5: Kuraho Tab

Flat paneli ifite tab kuri buri ruhande ihuza uduce twerekeranye na panne yegeranye ariko igomba gukurwa kumpera iyo ari yo yose ikora inguni. Kuruhuka kumwanya wibikorwa hejuru yakazi hanyuma ukoreshe icyuma cya 5-muri-1 kugirango ukureho tab, nkuko bigaragara. Ibisubizo bivamo impande zose bizakora inguni ifatanye.

Intambwe ya 6: Shyira akamenyetso

Buri kwiruka ritangirira ku mfuruka, hamwe nimpera yarangiye yimfuruka yisi yose irengereye impera yikibaho (hamwe na tab yakuweho). Ubwa mbere, inguni rusange igabanijwemo ibice bibiri; iherezo ryuruhande rwa buri gice gitangira inzira, kandi gukata impande zometse kumwanya muto. Kubyiza, gabanya inguni yisi yose kugirango buri gice gifite byibura santimetero 8. Cyangwa, nkuko bimeze kuri twe, gabanya kugirango uhuze nintambwe: Kuruhuka ikibaho kiringaniye kuruhande rwegeranye, hanyuma uzenguruke impande zose hejuru, kanda impande zose zarangiye hejuru yintambwe, hanyuma wandike umurongo. , nkuko bigaragara.

Intambwe 7: Gabanya uburebure

Kuruhuka ikibaho cyerekanwe hejuru yumurimo hamwe nimbaho ​​zishaje munsi yacyo kumpande zombi. Koresha umugozi kugirango ushire akamenyetso ku murongo uciye bugufi ku murongo muto ugaragara. Huza uruziga ruzengurutse icyuma cya diyama kigabanijwe hanyuma ukate kumurongo, unyuze muri beto kimwe nicyuma cyo gutera imisumari. Witondere kwambara ibirahure byumutekano, mask yumukungugu, no kurinda kumva.

Intambwe ya 8: Funga akanama ka mbere

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.

Intambwe 9: Kurangiza kwiruka

Komeza ushyireho ibipimo binini byuzuye, ukore inzira yawe. Iyo wegereje iherezo, bapima kandi ukate igice igice kugirango wuzuze amasomo. Niba igice cyaciwe gifite tab kumpande zombi, koresha igikoresho cya 5-muri-1 kugirango ukomange. Huza igice mu mwanya, ucukure umwobo windege, hanyuma ucyerekeze kurukuta.

Intambwe ya 10: Shyira Inguni ya kabiri

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.

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.

Intambwe ya 12: Kangura ingingo

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.

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.

Intambwe ya 14: Fata ibice
