This building should be erected by
two people.
For ease of assembly, it is advisable to
pilot drill all screw holes and ensure
all screw heads are countersunk.
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.
Our buildings are delivered pre-treated with a water based timber treatment
however this only helps to protect during transit of your garden item. To
validate your guarantee and for better protection against weathering it is
ESSENTIAL that you treat the garden building with a wood preserver within 3
months of assembly. This will need to be re-applied annually to ensure longevity
of your building. Care must be taken when constructing the garden building
that it is not touching the ground and is on a suitable base.
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.
TYPES OF BASE
- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.
- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
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.
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.
