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.

Lay the bearers (No. 49, 50 & 52) onto a
rm and level surface (free from areas
where standing water can collect) as
shown in the illustration.
*Ensure the 44mm side of the bearer is
laying on the base so that you can screw
the bearers together on the 58mm side.
Fix the bearers together at each corner
using 2x90mm screws per corner,
ensuring the frame is ush.
Please Note: There should be a 44mm
gap at the back between bearers No.50.
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.

faces sit ush, as shown in the illustration.
This will create an ‘L’frame.
Fix together by screwing through the
bearer (No.53) into the end of the framing
(No.56) using 2x70mm screws.
Locate the Strip (No.57) ush to the
back and longest face of the ‘L frame’ and
the Strip (No.58) ush to the other side, so
the bottom of the strip is sitting ush on
the bearer (No.53)
Ensure both strips are aligned centrally to
the framing and sit ush with the top of the
framing. This will create an ‘H’ frame.
Secure in position by screwing through the
strip into the framing using 4x40mm
screws per strip.
Ensure to stagger the screws to avoid them
colliding.

boards (No. 36, 37 & 38) in the notches as shown in the illustration.
**Please Note: Ensure that the back of Log Board (No. 36) is ush with the back of bearer
(No. 50) and slots into the ‘H’ frame. Ensure Log Boards (No.37) are ush with the Front
Bearers (No. 52).
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 boards (No. 36, 37 & 38) and x each of the
starter boards to the bearers below by screwing through the notch into the frame as shown
in the illustration.
Before placing the log board back onto the starters, secure one of the back log boards

Following the method shown in the illustration, lay the rst 6 boards;
(No. 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 & 41).
Start by placing the side boards, interlocking them with the front and back boards. Then
place the next front and back boards, interlocking with the side boards.
When building up the back wall, place two log boards (No.36) at a time on each side of the
‘H’ frame, securing every-other log board (No.36) in place by screwing through the framing
of the ‘H’ frame into the end of the log board using 1x70mm screw per board, as shown in
the illustration.
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 side of the building (either side of the door and window
opening’s) can be placed either side depending on your needs.

illustartion.
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.
Place the single door (No. 9) onto a at
surface and x the Adjustable door hinge
(No. 15c) to the door using 3x30mm screws
per hinge.
Fix 3 x Adjustable Door Hinges (No. 15 a &
b) into position onto the door frame using
4x30mm screws per hinge.
*Ensure the hinges are tted to the
external 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
without restriction.
Remove the door from the framing after
tting.
*Ensure to screw into the framing and not

To adjust and align your doors:
1. Lift up the doors to seperate the two
parts of the hinge.
2. Turn the rotating barrel (No.15a) 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

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 two
parts.
Fasten six hinges (No. 25) to the door and the frame with the screws
supplied with the hinges. Make sure that the screws t evenly into
the framing on the otherside of the door. *Do not t the bottom 2
screws to the bottom hinges at this point. Fit the bottom 2 screws
later when the frame is in position on the log cabin.
The door and bottom hinges should sit just above the bottom of the
framing, as shown in the illustration.
The doors should t evenly within the framing. Ensure that there is an
equal 3mm spacing between the doors and the framing.
Remove the Garage Doors from frame after tting.
Repeat this method to attach hinges to the second set of doors.
CAUTION: THESE DOORS ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY!
