Lath is allowed to flop over. Curve in lath forms a rib
like shape
to hold the lath straight. The first row of nails is started about 6
inches
from the edge. There are 5
rows in all. The first nail is started in the center. The row is nailed
from the center out, holding the sheet straight, as shown by the arrows. |
The first row of nails is finished,
nailing to the ends
of the sheet of lath. |
|
|
Second row is started in the middle, holding the lath
in a curve still
to keep it straight. The first nail is started in the center, like
before.
The nailing sequence is from the center to the edges to keep a straight
line. |
The from third row nailed 3/4 of the the way over from
the edge. There
is no need to nail the edges yet. The edge can be nailed when the next
sheet is put up and overlapped. |
|
|
No need to nail the edge against the wood trim because
it gets a plaster
stop so it
can be nailed at the same time. |
The edge of the overlapping sheet can be
nailed at the same time. Note a good 3 inch overlap. Wire ties are
made crossways
pulling the lath tight. Each "lap" is tied, or
the overlapping area between the joists. |
