**Protim Aquatan T5 (621)**
Your building has been dip treated with Aquatan.
Aquatan is a water-based concentrate which is diluted with water, the building has been treated by the
correct application of Aquatan solution and then allowed to dry.
Aquatan is a decorative nish to colour the wood, which is applied industrially to timber fence panels
and garden buildings.
Aquatan undiluted contains: boric acid, sodium hydroxide 32% solution, aqueos mixture of sodium
dioctyl sulphosuccinat and alcohols: 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol.
BEFORE YOU START PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
- Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed in the parts list provided.
- When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied) including a Phillips screw-
driver, Flathead screwdriver, Stanley knife, Wood saw, Step ladder, Hammer, Spirit level and a Drill with 2mm bit.
- Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean dry area for assembly.
- Ensure you have enough time to build the product to ensure the building is water tight.
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 natural processes. 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 hot weather
and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow.
Our buildings are pre treated with a water based treatment**; this only helps to prevent discolouration
whilst in stock. To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL the
building is treated with a suitable preservative in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a suitable base.
We recommended using a suitable protection for your playhouse. As the product is destined for use by
children, a water based treatment for childrens toys is ESSENTIAL.
We also recommend treating the building prior to construction.
POSITIONING YOUR PLAYHOUSE
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.
We recommend a minimum space of 2m around a playhouse, away from any structure or obstructions such as
fences, garages, houses, overhanging branches, washing lines or electrical wires.
It is recommended that the position of the Playhouse is not in direct sunlight.
Activity toys such as swings and slides for towers shall not be installed over concrete, asphalt or any hard
surface.
BUILDING A BASE
Ensure the base is level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distortion, checking with a spirit level. 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.
- Wooden base.
