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.

correctly.

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 and close freely with-
out restriction.
It is important to t the doors within the
frames at this stage so that you can estab-
lish the position of the hinges. The hinges
come in three parts. Remove the doors
from the framing after tting.

Place the rst two roof board’s
(No. 37) 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 meet
at the top of the apex and leave
an overhang at the bottom.
Ensure the roof boards are not laid too
close together, use the spacers (No. 48)
provided to create a 2mm gap. Adjusting
the spacing between the boards allows
the wood to swell in damp weather.
*Please note that you have been
issued with 74 roof boards.
However, in reality you may only
need to use 72.
Continue adding the roof boards
aong 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.
The last board on each
side will overhang, 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.
