When updating the facade of an old log house, the easiest way is to use siding. However, if there are corners with a remainder, the frame under it must be assembled with a large offset from the wall. The length of a conventional U-shaped suspension is not enough for this. The problem is solved by making it yourself.
What you will need:
- CD profile trims;
- metal scissors.
Suspension manufacturing process
On the facade of a log house of this type, a vertical profile is first installed at the corners using conventional hangers. Then a cord is pulled across the posts.
To make a homemade suspension, take a piece of CD profile. From one edge it is cut along the corners to a depth of 2-3 cm.
The undercuts bend outward at right angles. They will be screwed to the facade with self-tapping screws.
The workpiece is leaned against the frame with its eyes. Then it needs to be cut with a margin so that it extends beyond the cord by 2-3 cm.
After this, it must be cut lengthwise with scissors at the corners by 6-10 cm. Now the central part of the profile is removed, leaving only the sidewalls.
The suspension is screwed to the frame. A vertical stand made from a CD profile is inserted between its sidewalls and secured with self-tapping screws.The protruding part of the eyes is bent to the side so as not to interfere with the siding.
