  • Publication number: 20240376720
    Abstract: A polygonal panel mounting structure facilitates mounting work, enables a single worker to perform the mounting work, and can adapt to the deformation of a mounting surface of a wall, a roof, a ceiling, or the like even when the mounting surface is slightly deformed due to an earthquake, a strong wind, or the like, thus preventing the distortion of the mounted panel. A fitting portion of a fitting frame provided on a one side portion of a polygonal panel is loosely fitted into a fitting groove provided on one of furring strip base frames that are fixed parallel to each other on mounting surface of the polygonal panel, and a fitting cap provided at a corner facing the one side portion of the polygonal panel is fitted into a fitting receiver provided on the other of the furring strip base frames so as to be swingable.
