WALL CLADDING - BACK & ENDS
Note - When attaching wall cladding, always ensure that the top sheet
is flush with the top of the top timber framing plate and that the
ends of the cladding sheets are
flush and parallel
with studs. This
will ensure that wall panels are square. Always screw wall sheets
through the trough (inner rib closest to the frame) of the profile.
TOP WALL SHEET
• Take a 5000mm length rear wall sheet and hold it in position at the
top of the back wall. It must be flush with the top of top timber plate
and both ends must be flush with the outside of the studs at either
end. (Fig. 1)
• Using 1 x 25mm Tek screw, attach one end of the sheet to the frame at
the top left hand corner of the sheet
(Fig.1)(a)
. Place the screw approx
25mm in from end of the sheet (the corner flashing will cover the screws).
• Repeat at the top of the sheet at the other end making sure that
the cladding is flush with the top of the top plate.
(Fig. 1) (b)
NOTE: The middle sheet will need to lap UNDER the top sheet,
so don’t screw right at the bottom of the sheet yet!The top sheet
will finish 850mm below the top of the framing and the second
sheet finisheds 1617mm down (see Wall Cladding Fixing Pattern
on the previous page
• To fix the bottom of the sheet, hold the top sheet flat against the
framing and align the edge of the cladding and the corner stud.
This ensures the back wall of the shed is square. Place 1 x 25mm
Tek screw 2 ribs up from the bottom of the sheet
(Fig. 3)(d)
. This
will let the next sheet slide underneath.
MIDDLE & LOWER WALL SHEETS
• Position the 2nd sheet underneath the first sheet so that it is
overlapped correctly
(Fig. 3).
As per the first sheet, start in the
top left hand corner, place a screw in the overlap of the 2 sheets
(Fig. 3)(e) and (Fig. 2)(f)
.
• Repeat at the top at the other end. Once again square the framing
up with the cladding and screw the bottom of the sheet using the
same process as the top sheet (Fig. 2)
• Repeat with the bottom wall sheet (Fig.4)
• Using 25mm tek screws in the middle of the sheet, screw the three
wall sheets off as per the plan on the previous page.
- 5 x 25mm Tek screws per end of each sheet
- 3 x 25mm Tek Screws in each stud of the top wall sheet
- 2 x 25mm Tek Screws in each stud of the middle sheet
- 3 x 25mm Tek Screws in each stud of the bottom sheet.
Repeat the above steps with each side wall until you have
finished the back and two end walls.
--IMPORTANT -- Make sure you align the side wall corrugate
sheets with the back wall so that the ribs line up.
