Cladding joints at Stanchions
This typical example also shows vertical restraint provided by standard diagonal tie wires and the connection to the Eaves Beam system.

Where required Multichannel Rails can be ‘incorporated’ instead of Multibeams eg. to simplify detailing at doors and windows. A detailed cross-section of this alternative is shown opposite. Maximum wall heights for diagonal wires are shown on page 98 for vertically laid cladding. This value should be adjusted on a pro-rata basis for heavier sidewall weights. Where cladding is joined within the bay width, a wider flange is required use G140/150 at this point together with screwed rod anti-sag diagonal ties.
