Adjust the frame to get a 10mm overhang on all 4 sides. Then, make sure diagonal measurements as
shown are the same, to ensure frame is straight and square.

Only on the front wall, pre-drill 4 holes approximately 35mm from the outermost and innermost
studs through bottom plate and concrete base using hammer drill and 10mm masonry drill bit. Secure
4 “L” brackets to studs using four 35mm Hex head Tek Screws and to the bottom plate using M10 x
140 screw bolts.

Pre-drill a hole within 50mm from one side of studs as shown, through timber and concrete base
using hammer drill and 12mm masonry drill bit (16 holes in total). Fasten timber frame to the base
through the holes using M12x135 through bolts.

1.8 DPC attachment to studs
• If fitting optional building paper to walls, ensure diagonal measurements on each wall frame
are the same.
• Use packaging timber (or similar) as bracing and nail to inside of frame to temporarily hold
wall panel square.
• Staple building paper to outside of frame and proceed with wall claddings. Once the cladding
is complete, remove timber bracing.
• Using ten 30mm clouts, attach DPC to each corner as shown. DPC should be level with top of top plate
and 20mm below bottom of bottom plate.
• Repeat above, attaching DPC to door studs with top of DPC level with underside of lintel.

2. Cladding attachment
External edges: use Hex head Tek Screws through every 2nd trough.
Internal edges: use 2 Hex head Tek Screws per sheet, per stud.
Top & bottom plate: use Hex head Tek screws at every stud.
• Top sheet must be flush with the top of the top plate.
• Ends of the corrugated sheets must be flush with outside of studs.
• Ensure metal filings have been removed from between sheets, and between sheets and
fasteners.
• Pre-drill cladding using 3.5mm drill bit for easy fastening.
