Chapter 4: Assembling Sidewall Sheets
• When assembling two assembled laminated sheets to each other, apply a strip of caulk (A) near the
outside edge of the outer sheet, between the outer two (2) rows of bolts and outside the last row of
bolts.
• Place a strip of caulk (B) 12 in. (30.4 cm) long to each the horizontal seams.
NOTE: Before bolting the next ring into place, apply a strip of caulk 12 in. (30.4 cm) long on the front
of the under lapped sheet at each joint.
• Also, a 12 in. (30.4 cm) strip of caulk is to be placed along the lower horizontal edge of the lapping
sheet at the vertical seam. This will fill the space that occurs between the holes caused by the over-
lapping sheets.
When assembling two sheets to make a laminated sheet assembly (C), apply a row of caulk all around the
vertical seam.
Use the supplied tube caulk to fill the larger gaps that occur with heavier gauges and laminated sheets.
