Abstract:
A method of forming a structure, comprising:a. positioning a longitudinally-extending side panel substantially upright, the side panel having an interior surface and a web member partially disposed therein so that a portion of the web member extends through the interior surface, wherein the portion of the web member that extends through the interior surface of the side panels forms an attachment point; b. positioning a longitudinally-extending sheet substantially upright, the sheet having an inside surface, wherein a portion of the interior surface of the side panel faces a portion of the inside surface of the sheet and the interior and inside surfaces are laterally spaced apart from each other so that a cavity is formed therebetween, and wherein the attachment point of the web member is disposed within the cavity and spaced apart from the inside surface of the sheet, wherein the sheet is formed from a different material than the side panel; c. attaching a first end of a connector to the attachment point of the side panel, the connector having an opposed second end; d. connecting a portion of the inside surface of the sheet to the second end of the connector, wherein the sheet lacks separable support and wherein the sheet is directly and detachably connected to the second end of the connector; and e. disposing a spacer intermediate the second end of the connector and the inside surface of the sheet, wherein the spacer increases the lateral spacing between the side panel and the sheet compared to using that connector without the spacer, wherein the spacer is cone-shaped in side view.
