Alternatively diagonal ties can be fitted at eaves level between the top two lines of rails and work down the building so the rail supports are in tension. Either way diagonal ties must be spaced so that the maximum distance between each run does not exceed 10m for metal cladding or 7.5m for fibre cement cladding. ◘ Detail A
