Installation Notes

OCM Mesh Form rule of thumb is to brace Mesh Form like you would a piece of plywood.

The use of rebar, stringbacks, walers, kickers, etc. (location, size and spacing) is similar to that for con- venational forming methods per ACI 347, Guide to Formwork for Concrete.

Notes

  • 4”-8” minimum lap between running OCM Mesh Form sheets.
  • 2-rib minimum lap between stacked OCM Mesh Form sheets.
  • Tie wire around rib and bracing is recommended.
  • Bracing where sheets lap is also recommended.
  • Attach OCM Mesh Form to bracing with wire, Staples, roofing nails or similar.
  • North ribs to make 90 degree turns; ribs face into the concrete pour.
  • Cut OCM Mesh Form sheets with a grinder, Cutoff saw, abrasive blade or tin snips.
