INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
• Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed.
• When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied).
• Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean dry area for assembly.
TIMBER
As with all natural materials, mber can be aected during various weather condions. For the duraon of
heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wooden panels may occur. Warping of the wood may also
occur during excessive dry spells due to an interior moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot be
avoided but can be migated. It is suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during extended
periods of warm sunshine and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow.
To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL that your building is treated
with an appropriate high-quality oil or solvent based preservave AFTER assembly, both internally and
externally, and annually thereaer. All glazing units must be sealed (internally and externally) with silicone or
other waterght sealant.
BUILDING A BASE
Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a suitable base. 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.
Ensure the base is rm and level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distoron.
The constructed base must be at least the size of product as referenced in supplied construct diagram. It is also
recommended that the oor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid ooding.
TYPES OF BASE
• Durable plasc grid*.
• Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.
• Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
• Timber Base - Self constructed/Buy pre-made.
*We recommend a Fastt EcoBase for your building. It is durable, lightweight, exible and easy to put in place.

Pressure Treated Buildings & Treatment:
Our Pressure Treated (or tanalised) Range of buildings are impregnated with Tanalith-E - the latest generaon wood
preservave. This has a pale green nt to the mber as the treatment is a copper-based product designed to limit the
chance of rot and insect aack. Once erected, your building should be treated annually, both internally and externally with
an appropriate high-quality oil or solvent based preservave.
