A panel comprises a board having a front face and a back face. The back face has a first edge and a second edge that is aligned with the first edge. A first set of tabs and a second set of tabs are attached to the back face, the first set of tabs being positioned along the first edge of the back face and the second set of tabs being positioned along the second edge of the back face, each individual tab being oriented transversely to the respective edge and protruding from the respective edge. The positions of the individual tabs on the first edge of the back face are offset from the positions of the individual tabs on the second edge of the back face.

A ribband for a stretched fabric three-dimensional structure comprising at least one light source incorporated in the ribband, wherein the ribband comprises two adjacent recesses separated by a tongue designed to receive the fastening elements of the stretched fabrics, wherein each recess comprises a bottom, an inner side wall forming the tongue and an outer side wall, wherein each outer side wall defines a peripheral wing of the ribband.

Provided are a mounting member and a building wall structure that allow a mounting operation to be performed with ease. A mounting member 10 can be equipped with an abutment member 30. The mounting member 10 includes a substrate portion 11, a wall portion 12, a protruding portion 13, a supporting portion 14, a first locking portion 15, and a second locking portion 16. The wall portion 12 protrudes from one side edge 11A of the substrate portion 11 relative to the substrate portion 11. The protruding portion 13 protrudes from the other side edge 11B side of the substrate portion 11 to the same side as the wall portion 12, and has a length L13 of protrusion from the substrate portion 11 shorter than the length of protrusion of the wall portion 12 from the substrate portion 11. The abutment member 30 includes a mounting portion 31 that can be fixed onto at least one of the substrate portion 11 and substantially the same plane 8P as the substrate portion 11 from the protruding portion 13 side, an erect piece 32 that is provided erecting in a direction intersecting the mounting portion 31, and that protrudes toward the side opposite to the substrate portion 11, and a clamping portion 33 that is formed as a single piece with the mounting portion 31, and that is capable of clamping the protruding portion 13 from a direction intersecting the substrate portion 11.

A method covers at least a portion of a surface of an existing structure with a repair structure. The method comprises: providing a standoff, the standoff elongated in a longitudinal direction and operable from an open configuration to a closed configuration; while the standoff is in the open configuration, mounting the standoff to the existing structure, such that the standoff projects outwardly away from the surface of the existing structure; closing the standoff to the closed configuration, the closing of the standoff forming a standoff connector; and coupling a cladding panel to the standoff by engaging the panel with the standoff connector at a location spaced outwardly apart from the surface of the existing structure by a void.
