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

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 pre treated with a water based treatment**; this only helps to
protect the product during transit and for upto 3 months against mould. To
validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL the
building is treated with a wood preserver within the rst three months of
assembly and thereafter in accordance with the manufactures recommenda-
tions. Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed 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.
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

**Protim Fentex E5**
Biocidal Product Regulation (EU 528/2012) Article 58 Information
Protim Fentex E2 preserved wood is a “treated article”which incorporates biocidal products.
Wood correctly preserved with Protim Fentex E2 is protected against mould in storage.

Wear gloves when handling freshly treated wood.
Avoid breathing dust when cutting treated or untreated wood.
Dispose of o-cuts responsibly – do not burn.
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

*If the portabase is to be located onto a hard standing surce, only the “L” shaped base feet are needed.
Position & identify the high and low spots, securing the feet in place so that the portabase is rm and
level in all directions.
On soft ground we recommend the use of post-mix concrete to further secure the groung spikes.
