Important information
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.

Position the left panel and back panel as shown. Note how the panel frames sit on the floor with the panel cladding
overhanging the floor edge. Ensure square and secure using 2 x 50mm screws through the frame of the back panel into
the frame of the left panel. In the same way attach the right-hand panel. Place the front panel between the sides and attach
in the same way using 4 x 50mm screws.

edge of the floor and centre the middle bearer. Nail through the floor into the narrow edge of the bearers.
5. Lid
Place the lid into position. Locate the hinges and mark the position of the screw holes on the lid ensuring they are in line
with back panel framing. Remove the lid and secure the two hinges in the marked position using 3 x 25mm screws per
hinge. Replace the lid and secure the hinges to the back panels using 4 x 25mm per hinge. Secure the lid stay to the frame
of the left side panel using 1 x 50mm screw. Make sure that the bar is able to pivot and will fit inside the chest to allow the
lid to shut.Open and hold the lid it so it stands vertical. Using the two 19mm screws, secure one end of the chain to the
inside of the lid side frame and the other end to the outside of the side panel. The chain should be positioned so it prevents
the lid from opening beyond the vertical position.
