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.

Lay the bearers (No’s. 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 screwing 2 screws per corner
using 8x70mm screws,
ensuring the bearer is 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.

longest sides and place the rst two log boards (No. 27) in the notch as
shown.
Ensure the boards sit square on the base using the same method used in
Step 1. Measure corner to corner, making sure the measurements are
equal.
Once the boards are square, lift up the log board (No. 27) and x the start-
er boards in place.
Fix each of the starter boards to the frame by screwing through the notch
into the frame as shown in the illustration.

(No’s. 24, 26, 27 & 28)
Start by placing the front and back
boards, interlocking them with the
side boards. Then place the next side
boards, interlocking with the front
and back boards. Continue this
method until you have placed 6
boards o of the starter boards on
each side, as shown in the
illustration.
This will create your rst level.
*Ensure that the boards are level
and ush with each other as you lay
each one.
Please Note: The short boards at the
front of the building (either side of the
door opening) can be placed either
side depending on your needs.

The Adjustable Door Hinge (No.17)
comes in three parts.
Fasten No. 17a into 17b as shown in the
illustration.
Place the master and secondary
doors (No’s 9 & 10) onto a at surface and x
the Adjustable door hinge (No.17c) to the
doors using 3x30mm screws per hinge.
Fix 3 x Adjustable Door Hinges (No. 17a &
b) into position onto the door frame using
4x30mm screws per hinge.
*Ensure the hinges are tted to the exter-
nal of the door frame so the doors open
outwards from the log cabin.
Locate the doors into the hinges ensuring
there is equal spacing on each side between
the doors and door frame, and that the
doors open & close freely without restric-
tion.
It is important to t the doors within the
frames at this stage so that you can establish
the position of the hinges. The hinges come
in three parts. Remove the doors from the
frame after tting.
**Ensure to screw into the framing and not

To adjust and align your doors:
1. Lift up the door of the hinge.
2. Turn the rotating barrel (No.17a) in / out to
move the postion of the doors either in or away
from each other.
3. You can then place the door(s) back on to the
hinge and check whether they require more /
less adjustments, if further adjustments are
required repeat number 2.

frame over the boards resting the frame on top of
the starter board (if you have not yet assembled
the door frame refer to step 5)
*Please note: This image is for illustrative purposes

Place the rst two roof board’s
(No.39) onto the log cabin on each side,
making sure the boards are ush to the
end of the roof purlin. Once in position x
to each purlin using 3x40mm screws.
Ensure the roof boards are not laid too
close together, use the spacers (No.45)
provided to create a 2mm gap. Adjusting
the spacing between the boards allows the
wood to swell in damp weather.
Continue adding the roof boards along the
roof, xing each one into position using
3x40mm screws, making sure that each
board is interlocked, ush at the bottom &
meet at the top of the apex.
You have been issued with 64 roof boards,
however you may only need to use 62.
*Ensure the roof boards meet at the top
of the apex and leave an overhang at the
bottom.
The last board on each side will
overhang past the end of the purlins:
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.
