General Instructions

BEFORE YOU START 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)

including a Phillips screwdriver, Stanley knife, wood saw, step ladder and drill with 2mm

bit.

- Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean dry area for assembly.

TIMBER

As with all natural materials, timber can be aected during various weather conditions.

For the duration of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood 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 helped. 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.

BUILDING A BASE

When thinking about where the building and base are going to be constructed:

Ensure that there will be access (60cm) to all sides for maintenance work and annual

treatment.

Ensure the base is level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to

diagrams for the base dimensions. The base should be slightly smaller than the external

measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the base, creating a run

o for water. It is also recommended that the oor be at least 25mm above the

surrounding ground level to avoid ooding.

TYPES OF BASE

- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.

- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.

Whilst all products manufactured are made to the highest standards of Safety and in the

case of childrens products independently tested to EN71 level, we cannot accept

responsibility for your safety whilst erecting or using this product.

Refer to the instructions pages for your specic product code

For ease of assembly use a

rubber mallet to t the log

boards. Do NOT use a heavy

hammer.

Ensure to measure and check before cutting

boards.

It is advisable to use a hand

saw when cutting roof and

oor boards.

Using a straight edge mark out the

measurement onto the last oor

board and cut along the length

removing the excess.

**Please note:Mark the nal board

2mm under the measurement; This

will allow the timber to expand and

contract freely.

Once all the oor boards are in
