General Instructions

28MM LOG CABIN, REVERSE APEX, NO EXTRAS, 4X3M, HALF GLAZED DOUBLE DOORS TWO SHORT WINDOWS.
2mm Drill bit
Winter = High Moisture = Expansion
Summer = Low Moisture = Contraction
All building’s should be
erected by two adults
For ease of assembly, you
MUST pilot drill all screw
holes and ensure all screw
heads are countersunk.
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 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 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.

Before securing ensure that the boards are tted properly
in their respective tongue’s and groove’s.
Step 1
Parts Needed - No. 35 QTY 2
No. 36 QTY 2
Lay the bearers (No’s. 35 & 36) 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 to
each other.
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.

Following the method shown in the
illustration, lay the rst 6 boards
(No’s. 24, 25, 26 & 29)
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 illustra-
tion.
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 and window opening’s) can be
placed either side depending on your
needs.
