2mm Drill bit

Winter = High Moisture = ExpansionSummer = Low Moisture = Contraction

All buildings should be erected by two adults

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

CAUTIONEvery 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.

General Instructions

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.

BUILDING A BASE

When thinking about where the building and base are going to be constructed: Ensure that there will be access (60cm) 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.

Whilst all products manufactured are made to the highest standards of Safety and in the case of childrens products independently tested to EN71 level, we cannot accept responsibility for your safety whilst erecting or using this product.

Refer to the instructions pages for your speci�c product code

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

Ensure to measure and check before cutting boards.

It is advisable to use a hand saw when cutting roof and �oor boards.

To ensure log boards are even, use a spirit level to check each layer has been installed correctly.

Due to natural occurences of wood shrinkage / expansion. You maybe required to use the provided spac-ers and place a space of 2mm to ensure every roof board lines up with the truss’.

*Ensure the roof boards meet at the top of the apex and leave an overhang at the bottom.

Continue adding the roof boardsalong the roof, �xing each one intoposition using 3x40mm screws,making sure that each board is interlocked, �ush at the bottom &meet at the top of the apex.

The last board on each side will overhang: Using a straight edgeand a pencil mark out a line as a guide.

Cut along the pencil mark andremove the excess. Place the cut down board’s back onto the roof and secure into place using 3x40mm screws per board.
