Receiving and storing the goods
Machined logs and other parts have been packed into protective wrapping. If the item will not
be constructed immediately, it should be kept indoors or otherwise well-protected until
assembly. The package should be kept away from the ground in order to avoid absorbing
moisture and be stored on a level base.
Transport defects and missing parts must be recorded on the waybill. The delivery is checked
against the waybill when unloading. At the same time, possible transport defects are identified.
Defects and missing parts are recorded on the waybill and immediately reported to the
provider.
For package and transport technical reasons, logs and other timber are placed in the package
so that they form reasonably sized bundles. Therefore, the logs may not be packaged in the
assembly order.
If possible, store the windows and doors indoors.
Please check the contents in full with the help of the part list and contact your retailer
immediately if something is missing or defective.
Please sort the parts near the planned building area leaving enough space for working.
1. Check the content of the packages

Procedure in case of defects or faults
If you do have something to complain, please immediately contact the place of purchase to
make a written claim via the re-seller. Inform the reseller about the guarantee number that
can be found on the package. We cannot process a claim without guarantee number. If the
assembling will be begun or continued, it means that the customer has accepted the parts. The
producer and the re-seller reserve rights to decide about all the arrangements concerning the
claim. They may also visit the building site if they think it is necessary. The producer or the re-
seller is not responsible to pay any indirect costs or damages due to a defected or missing
part.
Description of material
Timber is natural material which has some self-evident and ordinary aspects like knots, groups
of knots, splits, crazing in knots, resinous and twisting. This means that loose knots or knot
holes at edges, resin faults, knot and drying splits and crazing not influencing to the
construction are acceptable. Also twisted but usable parts are such. Plane hits and wane at the
back side of roof and floorboards are always acceptable if the faults are not seen at the visible
side when assembled.
Assembly of the building
The builder is responsible for ensuring that the building is fit for its intended use.
Constructing this building requires expertise and thorough knowledge concerning the building
and construction regulations. The builder is expected to comply with good building practices. If
needed, seek advice from experts and construction sector professionals.
The assembly instructions include a parts list, drawings of wall constructions and the required
detail drawings.
To facilitate the identification of the log, the code of the log is marked in the cut-outs of some
logs. Some logs do not have the code, which means that they have to be identified on the
basis of their size and cut-outs. For production technical reasons, some logs have been drilled although
the holes are not needed.
Foundation
The foundation of the building should made on soil that will not move during frozen ground
conditions or sink.
There are several different foundation methods; the foundation should be made in accordance
with the foundation conditions. Seek advice from an expert when choosing and planning the
foundation method. A separate foundation plan should be prepared, when necessary. The
building must be fastened to the foundation. Please bear in mind that the walls must be 5 mm
outside the surface of the plinth in accordance with the drawings.
The measure drawing for the beam foundation is attached to the instructions.
Log frame
Settling of structures is a natural part of log construction, and this should be considered when
planning and assembling the structures. The settling of log structures must be taken into

account when fastening frame-structured separating walls, stairs, fittings and posts to log
structures. A settling space must be left between unsettled structures and threaded legs must
be used with load-bearing structures. The nominal effective height of the logs is 135 mm.
Some timber is delivered in sawfallen length and must be cut to size at site. Such timber may
be, for example, the roof boards, fascia boards and trims. Pay attention to their correct
jointing points. Parts delivered in such a way are marked in the parts list.
Floor boards are so-called shipping-dry timber and a gap will form in their joints in dry
conditions.
Logs and timber should not get wet during the assembly. If the erection of the building is
interrupted, ensure that the building and its parts are protected.
Pay attention to temporary supports during the assembly.
Lengthening logs
On the long walls, it is necessary to butt logs together by creating a joint between the logs.
The joint should be located in the corner intersection, if possible. The joint is made on the cut-
out using a small nailing plate and screws. If the joint is made carefully, it will not weaken the
wall structure.
Doors and windows
In principle, doors and windows can be added to the building or their places changed.
Contact the reseller.
Use an insulator allowing settling when filling the gaps. It is not allowed to use
polyurethane foam!
One spare log is included in the delivery. This spare log is intended to be used if a log has a
machining defect or is otherwise damaged or of the wrong size. The spare log must be cut to
size at site. If needed, a cut-out will be made to the spare log at site. The log can be cut to
several spare parts. Note! The cut-out is worked with a handsaw and, for example, a chisel.
Take the measurements and example from a completed cut-out.
Sauna
When building a sauna, the builder must consider the regulations concerning sauna stoves and
chimneys. The requirements set by the sauna stove and chimney have not been considered in
the structures. Sufficient ventilation of the sauna must be ensured. Holes for the air valves
must be made to the outer walls.
Special attention must be paid on the surface treatment of floor boards inside the sauna.
Additional insulation
The delivery does not include thermal insulation. When using thermal insulation, follow the
related instructions and regulations. It is particularly important to pay attention to the vapour
barrier and ventilation, if they are required.

Protection treatment
The timber used for the products LUOMAN products has not been treated. Protection treatment
of the building must be performed immediately after erecting the cabin as soon as the weather
is suitable for it. The first treatment should be done with a with a colorless wood preservative
that prevents the formation of mould and blue stain. Also, the interior of the building must be
treated. Only use wood preservatives that are suitable for log surfaces. Ask for advice of
suitable products from resellers of wood preservatives.
Small black or blue mould spots may easily be formed both on treated and untreated wooden
surfaces in certain conditions. A mould spot is not harmful for the wood nor a defect. It is only
an aesthetic problem that can usually be washed away similarly as dirt. It is also possible to
sand the spots before the surface treatment.
Maintenance
Safe long-term use of the building requires regular checking, possible reparation of the
fastenings and inspecting the condition of the parts. Pay special attention to the roof
construction, its covering material, doors and windows, foundation fastenings, the protection
against storm as well as surface treatment of any wooden parts. Failure to perform regular
maintenance can cause damage to the building or a safety risk to its user.
Regularly inspect the condition of the protection treatment and re-new it when necessary.
Inspect the bottom rails of the doors, windows and their frames, end surface of timbers and
parts stressed by hard weather- or usage-related wearing. Check the functioning of doors and
windows and adjust hinges when necessary. Check the silicon seals of doors and windows,
renewing them when necessary. It is very important to make sure that underneath the
building is well-ventilated. Also installing ventilation grills (not included) on top of the gable
triangles is recommended to let moisture get out from the building.
