STEP 5. FASTENING

Set the splines into the grooves of the fixed (standing) panel. Bring your connecting panel into position over the bottom plate, tilted slightly away from the fixed panel. Butt the skins together at the bottom and scissor the walls together using a sharp motion.

STEP 5. FASTENING

Plumb the panel in both directions. It may be necessary to tack the bottom of the panel to hold it in place while the plumbing process takes place. Once the panel is plumb in both directions, nail both sides of the spline seam and the sill plate with 8d nails at 6” o.c. (You may have to brace the wall.)

STEP 6. TOP PLATE

Repeat the procedures for the remaining wall panels. When you get to a corner or opening make sure to check the panel dimensions before standing the panel. (This panel may need to be trimmed to fit the location properly.)
