Carefully place the roof on top of the end panel posts
ensuring that the batten ends sit flush with the posts
as shown. Now attach the roof to each end panel
post with 65mm screws.
Secure the rear of the roof using 65mm screws as
shown.
Step 15
Step 16
Having established which side of the store your door
(with the solid floor) is to be fitted on, sit the lattice
in the store so that it is leaning against the back panel
as shown above, so that you have enough clearance
to attach the front posts as shown in the next step.
Locate the pencil guide marks on the front face of the
base. This is where the centre posts will be fitted.

With the centre post lined up with the guide marks
on the base, locate the top of the post between the
central roof battens, flush with the batten ends, and
secure in place with 2 of the 65mm screws.
Check the positioning of the post within the guide
marks once again before securing the bottom of the
centre post with 2 more of the 65mm screws. Repeat
steps 16 - 18 for the remaining centre post. You can
then lower the lattice into its proper position.
Step 19
Step 20
Place a spacer block at the front of the log store
adjacent to the front end post and rest the hinge side
of the appropriate door on the block, aligning it
vertically and horizontally for a good fit. Now use four
of the supplied black hinge screws to affix the hinge
to the post.
Align the top hinge in place, ensuring that the gap
between the door and post is consistent at top and
bottom.
