Thank you for purchasing theCladman.
theCladman is for use with Cement based weatherboards and traditional
featheredged cladding. Robustly constructed incorporating welded steel core corner
joints, it is suitable for a range of board widths between 125 – 225mm and a board
thickness range between 8 – 38mm.
It has been designed to provide what we at Sitebuddyz Ltd call your extra pair of
hands. It enables a single person to install various sizes of cement based
weatherboards or the traditional featheredged cladding that are currently on the
market, with ease and the minimum of effort.
With theCladman, more than one elevation can be clad at the same time, and you
can be sure that the overlap will remain constant giving that perfect appearance to
the completed project.
When it comes to boards that require cutting to fit around window sills, door frames
and reveals, theCladman supports the board in place without movement, allowing
greater accuracy of marking the board, prior to cutting and permanent fixing.

  • Page 6 Now theCladman is now set and all overlaps will be the same. We recommend using the 8mm driver bit supplied in a battery drill to screw theCladman to a baton (at least one in from the end of the board).
  • Page 7 Slide the length of board to be fitted onto the rollers of theCladman to the position required and fix. Subsequent boards are fitted by simply unscrewing and repositioning theCladman. When the soffit is reached the last full width board will require theCladman roller to be repositioned.
  • Page 8 Repeat for the second of theCladman at the other end of the board. theCladman will act as a pair of hangers to support the first board whilst being checked for level prior to fixing. If adjustment is required simply reposition one of theCladman to achieve a level board.
