posts ensuring that the batten ends sit flush with the
posts as shown. Now attach the roof to each end
panel post with shorter green screws.

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.

Step 18
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 longer green screws.
Repeat steps 16 - 18 for the remaining centre post.
You can then lower the lattice into its proper
position.

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.

slot the panel into place, now reposition the post
and fix again at the roof. Now screw the dividing
panel to the front post.
