IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your new Garden Office has been designed with self build in mind. However, it is important
that the assembly instructions are followed carefully.
Precautions:
* Assembly must only be carried out in dry and calm weather.
* Always use working gloves.
* All holes need to be pre-drilled using a drill bit to avoid timber splitting.
* Installation of roof panels:
Please remove the protective film from both sides of the roof panels before fixing them.
When determining the direction of roof panels' installation, give consideration to the
prevailing wind direction. Wind should blow in the direction of the lap joints of the roof
panels. Installing panels in the opposite direction may increase the risk of rain water leaking
to the interior of the building.
The Nature of Wood:
The wood provided for your garden building is soft wood which has been kiln dried and is
pressure treated for protection against rot and insect infestation. Wood is a natural product
which may have knots, knot holes, imperfections, cracks and warping.
Due to the inherent properties of wood, once the build is complete, we make no
guarantees with regards to the above, nor will replace any lengths of timber for any of the
following reasons:
* Any timber that contains knots where they do not influence the structural stability of the
product.
* Cosmetic appearances - colour variations e.g. caused by the structure or age of the
timber.
* Timber that has shakes, cracks or gaps that do not influence the structural strength of the
product.
* Any timber that has been covered or buried underground.
* Twisted timber that can be installed.
* Queries arising from a neglectful manner of construction, be in foundational or erection of
the product.
* Queries due to modifications by the owner causing timber to deform.
Any valid queries will be satisfied by the exchange or replacement of the defective parts
only.
Base:
A correct base is paramount to installing your Garden Office correctly. Only a completely
level and square load bearing base will ensure a stable and problem free installation,
especially when aligning the doors.
We recommend you use a concrete base approximately 100-200mm larger from every
side than the Garden Office base (bearer plan).
