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.

To ensure log boards are even, use a spirit
level to check each layer has been installed
correctly.

using 8x70mm screws in total, ensur-
ing the bearers are ush.
Once fully assembled, ensure the
bearers are square by measuring from
corner to corner as illustrated, making

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

Place the rst roof board (No. 38)
onto the log cabin, making sure the boards
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.
Ensure the roof boards are not laid too close
together, use the spacers (No. 44) provided
to create a 2mm gap. Adjusting the spacing
between the boards allows the wood to
swell in damp weather.
Continue to place the roof boards onto the
roof, ensuring each roof board is interlocked
and level. 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.

inside the building ush to the log
board on one side. Continue adding
the oor boards (internally) making
sure to interlock each individual board.
You have been issued with 26 oor
boards, but in reality you may only
need to use 25.
*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. 39) 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

Arrange the storm braces (No.42)
around the building (internally),
Placing two storm braces per side,
xing into place using 2x 70mm 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.
The storm braces will need to be
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.
