How to prepare the materials for the crate?
Despite the etymology, the lining or skin board in today's construction is a very demanded material. The nobility of the tree, its warmth and properties( pleasant smell, regulation of humidity, durability, soundproofing) allow the carpet to occupy a leading place among the finishing materials.
Wooden beams are used to create the battens. Most often used bars size of 60x27 mm or 50x25 mm. Other materials will also be needed, for example, screws with dowels 10x130 mm( this is if the house is brick if the wood is made of only screws or screws), nails for connecting the frame to the crate, saw, hammer, level, fishing line, drill, screws used forjoints of corners in the skin.
You will also need a varnish, mastic quick-healing and a few bars for the frame size of 75x75 mm, which can be used as a regulator to reach a flat surface or as a frame base. Of course, we need a lining. Its size will depend on where it will be used: for upholstery inside the house or outside. It is desirable that, in addition to the natural drying, the lining is forced to dry. Due to this, the moisture content in the lining will be reduced, and later the slots will not appear.
Skeleton of the battens - we set the skin style in the first stages
How to make the lath for the lining? Work begins with the fact that with the help of level and fishing line we create guides, a peculiar skeleton. The guides are best done at the top under the ceiling or roof. Now, when we have an absolutely accurate reference point, we fasten the bars for the frame to the wall.
In which direction should they be submitted? Much can depend on the size of the room or the house. There are three ways to feed: vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Each of these methods is used with success, although the latter has a lot of costs, and it is necessary to purchase more material than necessary.
If the lining is placed horizontally, a large width of the house is created, if the vertical seems to look higher on the eye. It is clear that if the lining is horizontal, the lath is nailed vertically, and vice versa.
Directly the device of the
crate After the frame is full, the lining for the lining is fastened to it. To do this, we use bars measuring the size, for example, 60x27 mm. They are crammed to the house or frame all along. Before you start to attach the upholstery to the frame, it is desirable to process it to keep it workable for a long time. After processing, the frame for the lining is ready.
How to nail the lining to the frame? The best options are when nails are jammed in grooves or special staples are used. It should not be hammered with thick nails, because such nails can split the tree. Especially for such works there are nails with a small diameter of the cap.
As soon as the work on the upholstery is finished, it must be covered with a layer of varnish or other material to protect it from external factors of influence. If the processing of the lining is done correctly, it can maintain its color for 10 years without changes. In some cases, the additional frame, which serves as the basis for the crate, may not be necessary. It is possible that the walls in such a house are flat enough, and the bars will be fastened directly to the wall of the house.
However, the use of the level is simply necessary, so that the guides for the lining are exactly "planted" and do not spoil the appearance with "belly" or notches. In the case when the work is carried out from the outside and it is planned to use a heater, it is better to first beat the frame. The distance between the beams will be equal to the width of the insulation. On top of this frame is a crate.
