A Fixing System For Cladding And A Cladded Structure
A cladded structure having rows of spaced-apart fixing devices with engagement members mounted to the support structure for supporting rows of partially overlapping cladding boards. 5 Each row of cladding boards being supported by a respective row of fixing devices. Each cladding board is defined along its length by front and rear surfaces that extend between upper and lower surfaces, and a recess being provided in and along the rear surface into which the engagement members of the fixing devices engage to support the cladding board on the support structure. Retaining gaps are formed between sections of the upper surface of each 10 cladding board and protruding surfaces of or associated with the fixing devices supporting the next upper adjacent cladding board, and a plurality of resiliently deformable retaining components are located in a deformed state in at least one retaining gap associated with each cladding board such that the retaining components act to exert a downward force on the cladding boards to retain them in an engaged state with their fixing devices.
