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.

Each board interlocks at either end in a staggered pattern.
Before securing ensure that the boards are tted properly
in their respective tongues and grooves.
Step 1
Parts Needed - No. 33 QTY 2
No. 34 QTY 2
Lay the bearers (No. 33 & 34) onto
a rm and level surface (free from
areas where standing water can
collect) as shown in the
illustration.
Fix the bearers together at each
corner using 2 screws per corner
using 8x70mm screws in total,
ensuring the bearers are ush.
Once fully assembled, ensure the
bearers are square by measuring
from corner to corner as
illustrated, making sure the
measurements are equal.
If the bearers are not aligned
equally, unscrew, adjust and
re-align accordingly.

are ush to the end of the roof purlin.
Ensure there is an even amount of
overhang between the log boards and roof
board at the front and back of the cabin.
Once in position x to the purlin, front and
back of the log cabin using 3x40mm
screws.
Use the spacer (No. 43) to create an
expansion gap between each roof board if
installing during low levels of moisture
(Summer.) This creates an expansion gap
for the boards to move into during high
levels of moisture (Winter.)
Once in position x the roof boards to the
purlin, front and back of the log cabin
using 3x40mm srews per roof board.
*Please Note: The Purlin will be longer
than the log boards by 2mm each end.
You have been issued with 23 roof boards,
but in reality you may only need to use 22.
The last roof board will overhang
past the end of the roof purlin. Using a
straight edge and a pencil, mark out a line
as a guide.
Cut along the pencil mark and remove the
excess. Place the cut down board’s back
onto the roof and secure into place using
3x40mm screws per board.

board on one side. Continue adding
the oor boards (internally) making
sure to interlock each individual board.
You have been issued with 21 oor
boards, but in reality you may only
need to use 20.
*Do NOT secure the boards until the
last board has been measured and
cut.
Following the same method outlined
previously measure the gap between
the bottom of the tongue (on the last
board placed) and the log board.
Using a straight edge mark out the
measurement onto the last oor board
(No. 38) and cut along the length
removing the excess.
**Please note: Mark the nal board
2mm under the measurement; This will
allow the timber to expand and contract
correctly.
Once all the oor boards are in position
secure each board into position using
6x40mm screws per board.
***Please Note: Ensure to screw
through each of the oor boards into the

into place using 2x 60mm bolts per
brace ,making sure the washer & nut
are tightened from the outside of the
building.
*Ensure the storm braces are secured
at the highest point possible on each
side.

altered during the buildings life as the
moisture content within the log boards
changes. The boards will expand
during periods of high moisture
(Winter) and shrink during periods of
low moisture (Summer.)
**Storm braces will help your building
expand and contract properly.
***Important: Ensure each bolt is
tightened using a washer so as not to
damage the log boards.
