BEFORE YOU START FIXING THE CLADDING
To avoid corrosion, where at all possible try not to trap metal filings between the steel sheets. Remove all
metal filings before riveting. Only use a ballpoint pen to mark the steel as the carbon in pencils reacts with
the Zinc/Aluminium coating.

Before moving to the next step, please study the
details of how the steel cladding sheets overlap
each other. Then turn over and start attaching the
cladding.
Each cladding sheet has one edge that finishes with a
rounded
“
rib
”
that will overlap and sit on the top. The
other edge has an extra lip and will sit underneath.
