CONSTRUCTION OF OUTDOOR LIVING COMPONENTS WITH THE TANDEM MODULAR GRID
TANDEM VENEERS
When the grids have been installed, just insert the veneers for the unit
using the connectors specially designed for the purpose . We recommend
using 2 connectors per veneer for a solid job, but sometimes it can happen
that a connector can’t be inserted because of the grid’s geometry . You can
then secure the veneer by gluing it around other veneers with a concrete
adhesive such as Permapro adhesive .
Normally, for a standard project, all formats of the veneer units are
used randomly . As for retaining walls, always keep in mind the principle
of staggering the vertical joints from one row to another . For the corners,
you need corner units just like constructing a pillar with steel grids
(see “Building Pillars” section) . But it should be noted that sometimes
the construction of a short unit requires a larger quantity of the same
format veneers, especially corner units (the quantity of corner units
supplied comes to approximately one-third of a pallet) . It is important
to check this when calculating the quantity so as to have enough of
the appropriate veneers on hand .
It is also possible to use 180 mm veneers when constructing a unit,
the same as for a retaining wall or a column .
