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.
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, Hammer and a
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.
Once your garden building has been installed it will need to be treated as soon as
possible and annually to prevent the timber from deteriorating and to waterproof it.
This is required to maintain the anti-rot guarantee.
Dip Treated buildings - Require a preservative treatment to protect against rot and
decay and a waterproof treatment to prevent water ingress
Pressure Treated buildings - Require a waterproof treatment to prevent water ingress
Log Cabins - Are supplied untreated and require a preservative and waterproong
treatment.
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.
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.
For ease of assembly, you
will need a tape measure to
check dimensions of
components.
Pressure Treated Timber
Pressure treating is a chemical process which helps to protect wood against adverse weather which could
lead to rot or insect damage.
The most common chemicals used to pressure treat wood are Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ),
Copper Azole (CA), and Micronized Copper Quaternary (MCQ).
Safety: Always wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when handling wood. Due to chemicals in
pressure treated wood, never burn its sawdust or scraps; instead dispose in a landll.

Place an assembled Truss central to
where two panels join. Align the
top of the truss one inch (25mm)
below the top of the sides as shown
in the diagram.
HINT - Use a piece from the xing
kit as a guide.
Pencil mark the truss position and
remove truss.
Place the truss blocks (No. 13) up to
the pencil mark and x using
2x70mm screws per block.
Place the truss back into position on
top of the support block and secure
using 100mm screw each side from
the top down through the truss and
into the block.
For 12x10, 16x10 and 20x10 attach a
truss where each panel joins. For
12x10 you will have two trusses,
for the 16x10 you will have four
trusses and for 20x10 you will have
three trusses.

Place the roof panels (No. 8, 36

truss making sure the roof
panels sit into the gables and
truss. Do not x the roof panels
untill all roof panels are in place.
There are two roof panels for
the 10x10 building, three for the
12x10, ve for the 16x10 and
four for the 20x10.
Ensure there is an eqal amount
of roof overhang on either side
of the building.
Secure the roof panels (No. 8, 36 &
38) together using the metal U
channel (No. 32) and 6x40mm
screws per U channel.
For a 10x10 you will have one U
channel, two for the 12x10, four for
the 16x10 and three for the 20x10.

12x10, ve for the 16x10 and
four for the 20x10.
Ensure there is an eqal amount
of roof overhang on either side
of the building.
Secure all the roof panels to the
building using 40mm screws
ensuring the building is square
before xing.
