Jinsi ya Kufunika Ukuta kwa Nguo za Jiwe

Hatua ya 1: Muhtasari wa Jinsi ya Kufunika Ukuta kwenye Jiwe

MUDA:

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

Hatua ya 2: Pima Ukuta

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.

Hatua ya 3: Chora Chini ili Kutayarisha Ukuta

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.

Hatua ya 4: Sakinisha Ukanda wa Kuanza ili Kutayarisha Kozi ya Kwanza

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.

Hatua ya 5: Ondoa Kichupo

Paneli tambarare zina kichupo kila upande ambacho huwa na nafasi kwenye paneli bapa zilizo karibu lakini zinahitaji kuondolewa kutoka upande wowote unaounda kona. Pumzisha kioo cha paneli kwenye sehemu ya kazi na utumie ubao wa zana ya 5-in-1 ili kuzima kichupo, kama inavyoonyeshwa. Makali ya gorofa yanayotokana yatafanya kona kali.

Hatua ya 6: Weka alama kwenye Paneli

Kila kukimbia huanza kwenye kona, na mwisho wa mwisho wa kona ya ulimwengu wote ukipishana mwisho wa paneli bapa (na kichupo kimeondolewa). Kwanza, kona ya ulimwengu wote hukatwa vipande viwili; makali ya kumaliza ya kila kipande huanza kozi, na makali yaliyokatwa yanaingia kwenye jopo la gorofa. Kwa uzuri, kata kona ya ulimwengu wote ili kila kipande kiwe na urefu wa angalau inchi 8. Au, kama ilivyo kwetu, ikate ili ilingane na kiinuo cha ngazi: Weka paneli bapa kwenye upande wa karibu kwenye sehemu ya kuanzia, kisha zungusha kona ya ulimwengu juu chini, weka makali yake yaliyokamilishwa dhidi ya kiinua ngazi, na uandike mstari wa kukata. , kama inavyoonekana.

Hatua ya 7: Kata kwa Urefu

Weka kidirisha kilichowekwa alama kikiwa kimeangalia chini kwenye sehemu ya kazi na ubao chakavu chini yake kwenye kila upande wa mstari wa kukata. Tumia ukingo wa kunyoosha kuashiria mstari wa kukata ulio na mraba kwenye sehemu nyembamba zaidi ya mstari ulioandikwa. Weka msumeno wa mviringo na blade ya almasi iliyogawanywa na ukate kando ya mstari, ukipitia saruji pamoja na ukanda wa misumari wa chuma. Hakikisha umevaa miwani ya usalama, barakoa ya vumbi na kinga ya kusikia.

Hatua ya 8: Funga Paneli ya Kwanza

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.

Kidokezo: Endelea kusokota kidogo ili kuondoa vumbi unaporudisha tundu kutoka kwa shimo la majaribio, ukiruhusu skrubu ya uashi kugonga kwenye zege.

Hatua ya 9: Maliza Kukimbia

Endelea kusakinisha paneli bapa zenye ukubwa kamili, ukifanya kazi chini ya mkondo. Unapokaribia mwisho, pima na ukate sehemu ya paneli ili kujaza mwisho wa kozi. Ikiwa kipande kilichokatwa kina kichupo pande zote mbili, tumia zana ya 5-in-1 ili kuigonga. Weka kipande mahali pake, toboa mashimo ya majaribio, na uikate ukutani.

Hatua ya 10: Sakinisha Kona ya Pili

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.

Hatua ya 11: Pangilia Paneli Zilizokaribiana

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.

Hatua ya 12: Koroga Viungo

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.

Hatua ya 13: Kata Paneli Ili Kutoshea Kozi ya Juu

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.

Hatua ya 14: Gundi Vipande

Ondoa paneli za kona na utumie shanga za moja kwa moja za wambiso wa ujenzi nyuma ya kila kipande kwa kukimbia kwa wima, kama inavyoonyeshwa, ili maji yawe huru kutiririka nyuma ya paneli na kukimbia vizuri. Weka paneli kwenye ukuta na uzirekebishe ili zifanane vizuri kwenye kona.

Hatua ya 15: Kuzama Fasteners

Ili kuimarisha zaidi paneli zilizokatwa, tafuta sehemu kadhaa kwenye kila moja ambapo unaweza kuzamisha kifunga kwa njia isiyoonekana kwenye viungo kati ya mawe. Kushikilia kipande mahali, piga shimo la majaribio kupitia paneli na ndani ya ukuta. Endesha kwenye screw ya uashi, kuzama kichwa chini ya uso wa jopo. Funika skrubu kwa kauki, kusanya vumbi kutoka kwenye jedwali la kukata, na lipulizie kwenye kauki ya kukaushia ili kuficha. Unaweza kugusa mapungufu yoyote kwa njia ile ile. Maliza kusanikisha paneli katika kozi ya mwisho.

Hatua ya 16: Kata Mawe ya Nguzo

Chagua jiwe la msingi la inchi kadhaa pana kuliko kina cha ukuta wako uliofunikwa ili kuunda overhang. Pima na uweke alama za vifuniko ili zitoshee sehemu ya juu ya ukuta. Tumia msumeno wa mviringo na blade ya almasi iliyogawanywa kukata kwa urefu, kama inavyoonyeshwa.

Hatua ya 17: Weka Jiwe Kufunika Ukuta

Kufanya kazi na mshirika, inua vifuniko na vikaushe juu ya ukuta. Waondoe na uomba adhesive ya ujenzi juu ya ukuta na kando ya veneer kabla ya kuweka upya mawe; au, ikiwa unapendelea mwonekano wa kweli zaidi, uwaweke kwenye kitanda kigumu cha chokaa. Sasa rudi nyuma na ushangae mwonekano usio na mshono.
