the upper edge using 4 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for the second piece of felt on the other half of the roof. Once the two pieces of felt are in place take the ridge felt roll
and place over the apex of the roof making sure it sits centrally over the roof ridge and overlaps the other two felt pieces, attach using 20 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced,
along each lower edge of the third felt. Dress down the ends of all felt pieces and attach to the Batten blocks at the front with 8 x 10mm felt nails. At the back secure to the

Important information - retain for future reference
Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To VALIDATE the guarantee, the building must be properly treated with a recognised external
wood preserver WITHIN 3 MONTHS of assembly and RE-TREATED ANNUALLY thereafter. The building must also be erected on 50mm x 50mm treated wooden or
similar bearers (These are not supplied with the kit.) Ground contact must be avoided.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose some of its
internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels.
This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount
of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.

coverstrip. One in each corner of the building and the third over the join of the two hatch panels. Above the shelf fit a hatch side mid coverstrip to the panel framing in the
corners using 3 x30mm nails per coverstrip. Above the mid coverstrips secure a hatch panel upper coverstrip using 2 x 30mm nails. Fit the hatch centre coverstrip over the
join of the two hatch panels using 3x 30mm nails.
