BEFORE YOU START PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

- Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed.

- When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied)
including a Phillips screwdriver, Stanley knife, wood saw, step ladder and drill with 2mm
bit.

- Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean dry area for assembly.

TIMBER

As with all natural materials, timber can be aected during various weather conditions.
For the duration of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood panels may
occur. Warping of the wood may also occur during excessive dry spells due to an interior
moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot be avoided but can be helped. It is
suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during extended periods of
warm sunshine and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow.

2mm Drill bit

All building’s should be
erected by two adults

For ease of assembly, you
MUST pilot drill all screw
holes and ensure all screw
heads are countersunk.

For ease of assembly use a
rubber mallet to t the log
boards. Do NOT use a heavy
hammer.

It is advisable to use a
circular saw when cutting
roof and oor boards.

Winter = High Moisture = Expansion
Summer = Low Moisture = Contraction

CAUTION

Every eort has been made during the
manufacturing process to eliminate the
prospect of splinters on rough surfaces of the
timber. You are strongly advised to wear gloves
when working with or handling rough sawn
timber.

Ensure to measure and check before cutting
boards.

Our buildings are pre treated with a water based treatment**; this only helps to protect
the product during transit and for upto 3 months against mould. To validate your
guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL the building is treated
with a wood preserver within the rst three months of assembly and thereafter in
accordance with the manufactures recommendations. Care must be taken to ensure
the product is placed on a suitable base.

BUILDING A BASE

When thinking about where the building and base is going to be constructed:
Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual
treatment.

Ensure the base is level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to
diagrams for the base dimensions, The base should be slightly smaller than the external
measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the base, creating a run
o for water. It is also recommended that the oor be at least 25mm above the
surrounding ground level to avoid ooding.

TYPES OF BASE

- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.

- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
