Spacer holes are filled in later with a little hempcrete mix.
Fixing and striking shuttering to/from exposed frames
Fixing shuttering to, and removing it from, exposed frames is a much easier and quicker
business than with central frames, as spacers are not required on the side of the frame that
is flush with the face of the finished wall. Boards are screwed straight on to the face of the
frame timbers, using 40mm screws, unless the frame is to be left exposed as part of the fin-
ish (see Chapter 20, pages 275 and 276 ) . Boards should be fixed to every post, with screws
at no wider than 600mm centres going up the post, with a screw placed within 100mm of
the top and bottom of the board to ensure that the edges are not pushed out.
The boards will still be going up in 600mm lifts on the side from which the wall will be
filled, but if you are filling from the side opposite the exposed frame (or if it is a double-
frame design), then you can of course use full boards, and it is much easier to fix these flat
to the timbers than it is to attach them with long screws and spacers.
