Installation manual

1 General information

Dear client,

We are glad that you have decided in favour of our garden house!

Please read the assembly manual carefully before proceeding with the house installation! You

will thus avoid problems and will not waste time.

Recommendations:

Keep the house package until its complete assembly in a dry place, but not in direct contact with

the ground, protected from weather conditions (moisture, the sun, etc.). Do not keep the house

package in a heated room!

When selecting the garden house location, make sure that the house will not be subjected to

extreme weather conditions (areas of strong snowfall or winds); otherwise you should attach the

house (for instance, with anchors) to the subsoil.

Warranty

Your house is made from high quality fir and delivered in the natural (unprocessed) form. If, despite

our thorough inspection, you should have complaints, please submit the filled out control sheet and

purchase invoice to the product seller.

ATTENTION: Please be sure to keep the documentation accompanying the house package! The

control sheet includes the control number of the house. We can only review complaints if you

submit the control number of the house to the seller!

The warranty does not cover:

Peculiarities of wood as a natural material

Wooden details already painted (processed with a wood preservative)

Wooden details containing whole branches that do not endanger the stability of the house

Colour tone variations caused by wood structure differences that do not influence wood lifetime

Wooden details containing (caused by drying) small cracks/gaps that do not pass through and do

not influence the structure of the house

Twisted wooden details if they can nevertheless be installed

Roof and floor boards that may have on their concealed surfaces some non-planed areas, colour

differences and waning

Complaints resulting from an incompetent manner of the installation of the house or the house

subsiding due to an incompetently made foundation

Complaints caused by introducing self-initiative changes to the house, such as the deformation of

wooden details and doors/windows due to an incompetent manner of wood processing; the

attachment of storm braces too rigidly, doorframes being screwed onto wall logs, etc.

The complaints covered by the warranty are satisfied to the extent of replacing the

deficient/faulty material. All other demands will be excluded!

Installation manual

Garden house painting and maintenance

Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small

cracks, colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors,

but a result of wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.

Unprocessed wood (except for foundation joists) becomes greyish after having been left untouched for

a while, and can be turn blue and become mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your garden

house, you must immediately process them with a wood preservative.

We recommend that you cover the floor boards in advance with a colourless wood impregnation

agent, especially the bottom sides of the boards, to which you will no longer have access when the

house is assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration.

We definitely recommend that you also process the doors and windows with a wood impregnation

agent, and do that namely both inside and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become

twisted.

After the house assembly is completed, we recommend for the conclusive finishing a weather

protection paint that will protect wood from moisture and UV radiation.

When painting, use high quality tools and paints, follow the paint application manual and

manufacturer’s safety and usage instructions. Never paint a surface in strong sunlight or rainy

weather. Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint

manufacturer’s instructions.

Having been properly painted, your garden house’s lifetime will increase substantially. We recommend

that you inspect the house thoroughly once every six months.

2 Preparation for assembly

Tools and preparation of components

To assemble the garden house, you will need the following tools:

assembly aid

water-level

knife

ladder

screwdriver

measuring tape

hammer

saw

pliers

drill

ADVICE: To avoid splinters, we recommend that you wear the corresponding protective gloves during

the assembly process.

Installation manual

Preparation of components:

Sort the components based on the

wall plans (see Technical

specifications) and place them at

the four sides of the house in the

installation sequence.

ATTENTION: Never place the

components directly on grass or a

muddy surface because it will be

very difficult or even impossible to

clean them up later!

Foundation

A good foundation is the most important aspect guaranteeing the duration and safety of your house.

Only a completely level, rectangular and bearing foundation will ensure problem-free installation of the

house, its stability and especially the matching of the doors. With a good foundation, your house will

stand for many years more.

Prepare the foundation so that its upper edge extends from the ground to a height of at least 5 cm. At

the same time make sure that there are sufficient air apertures under the house floor for ventilation.

We recommend the following foundation options:

Strip or spot foundation

Foundation from concrete or pavement slabs

Cast concrete bed

Prepare the foundation so that the foundation joists are propped up on every side with intervals not

exceeding 50-60 cm.

Consult an expert in this field or have the foundation prepared by specialists.

3 Garden house assembly

ATTENTION:

You will find included in the house package one spare log (longest wall log).

You will find included in the house package one spare board (longest roof or floor board).

The house package also includes 2-3 marked hitting blocks (wall profile approximately 20-30 cm

long).

All of the details listed above ARE NOT mentioned in the specification list.

The drawings have the details marked with three-digit position numbers. The exact positions of

those details that have the third digit “x” can be found in the specification list.

Installation manual

Base frame (Foundation joists)

The base frame of the house must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds

without problems.

ATTENTION: different house can have different foundation placements – see the appended

base frame drawing (in Technical specifications)!

Place the impregnated foundation joists on the prepared foundation in accordance with the drawing at

equal intervals. Make sure that the joists are level and rectangular prior to screwing them together.

ADVICE: It is recommended to place between the foundation joists and foundation a damp-proof

course that will protect the house from moisture and decay.

ADVICE: To ensure protection from wind and storm, it is recommended to attach the foundation joists

to the foundation (for this, you can use for instance metal angles, anchors, etc.). The corresponding

materials are not included in the supplied kit!

Installation of foundation joists:

Walls

When installing the walls, it is important to remember that:

The logs are always assembled with their tongue upwards!

If necessary, use the hitting block and hammer! Never directly hit the tongue with the hammer!

Install the walls in accordance with the appended wall plans (see Technical specifications).

First of all place half logs of front and back wall at the

correct location and attach them with screws to the

foundation joists. Then install the side wall logs. Make sure

that the first layer of logs extends a bit over the foundation

joists: the logs must extend over the joists by some 3-5 mm.

You will thus protect the house from moisture, allowing the

free flow of rainwater into the ground.

ATTENTION: After the first layer of logs, measure the

diagonal lengths and, if necessary, re-install the logs. Only if

the diagonal lengths are completely equal is the base frame

rectangular and you can mutually attach the logs.

The first layer of logs:

Installation manual

Continue the installation of the walls by strongly forcing the wall logs into one another. If necessary,

use the hitting block and hammer. At the same time, do not forget to begin the installation of the door

and windows. You should definitely begin the door installation after the 5th-6th layer of logs.

Door and window

Doorframe:

If it is a double door, the

doorframe is supplied in

separate parts due to

transportation requirements and

you will have to begin by

assembling it.

To do this, place together the 4

parts of the frame and screw

them onto one another.

Make sure that the part of the

frame with the deeper notch is

installed upwards. The lateral

jamb parts have hinges and are

mirrored.

It is recommended to install the

leaves later.

If it is a single door, its frame and

leaf are supplied already

assembled.

Doorframe installation (Only necessary for a double door!):

Door installation:

The doorframe is placed at the

formed aperture and pushed with

force onto the lower log. If it is a

double door, place the leaves on the

hinges now. To open and close the

door, fit the separately packaged lock

and handle.

Window installation:

Continue with the installation of the wall logs until you reach the window height. The wall plans (see

Technical specifications) show how many logs go under the window. Install the window similarly with

the door. Just like the door, push the window frame with the window into the window aperture onto the

lower log, applying force. Make sure that the window is not fitted backwards (topsy-turvy).

ADVICE: Definitely make sure that the windows and doors open in the proper direction. The doors

always open from the inside to the outside. The revolving-tilting windows open to the inside. The

revolving and the slinging windows open to the outside (the window handles are on the inside).

ATTENTION: It is not necessary to fix the doors and windows to the wall logs! If you wish to do this, it

will be sufficient to fix them with a couple of screws in the lower part of the frame because as they dry,

the wall logs will begin subsiding.

You can conduct the final adjustments of the doors and windows only some 2-3 weeks after the house

installation, when the house will have become adapted to weather conditions and its logs settled.

Installation manual

Apex

In most cases, the apex is supplied in one piece (attention: in some house options, the apex can comprise

several parts! In this case, these parts will have to be screwed together prior to other actions). Having installed

the last wall logs, place the apex on the front and back walls and attach them with screws.

The apexes have indents for the rafters. The rafters also have the corresponding indents, ensuring that the

roof is placed firmly and in the right place.

Now place the rafters in the

corresponding indents in the

apexes.

Make sure that the upper wall log,

apexes and rafters are level. Having

fitted the rafters, screw them onto

the apex from above.

Installation of rafters:

ATTENTION: If the wall logs are not properly pressed on top of one another without gaps, the upper wall log

may not be on the same level with the apexes. In this case you should tap the wall logs downwards as

necessary or plane the apex or sidewall log somewhat lower.

Roof

Before installing the roof boards, make sure that the house is completely level. Use the water-level to

check all walls.

ATTENTION: When placing the roof, use a stable ladder. Do not step on the roof as the structure is

suitable to sustain only an even load (snow, wind, etc.), and not a point load!

Begin the installation of the roof boards from the front edge of the roof. Tap the boards lightly and

attach them from above and below with nails to the rafters and upper wall log.

ATTENTION: Do not press the roof boards together too densely and you will avoid moisture-causing

bulging! Leave an interval of about 1 mm between the boards to allow for swelling.

During the whole process of installing the roof boards, make sure that their crest rafters coincide

and the eave sides of the boards extend at a uniform distance. Verify this with a rope or the lateral

eave lath that you may install for verification purposes.

The roof boards must be even with the rafter ends in front and behind. If necessary, saw both last

roof boards so narrow that they are even with the rafter ends.

Installation manual

Having installed the roof boards, the roof felt and roof

slats must be attached.

The table of components shows whether the roof

cover material and slats are included with this

house option!

First of all, screw the roof edge reinforcements and eave

edgings under the roof board ends. Then install the roof

cover material.

Installation of roof slats:

Roof cover material (NB! Some house options do not include it in the kit!)

Cut the roof felt in accordance with the roof length into suitable pieces and begin installing them

parallel to the lower edge of the roof, moving toward the crest and placing the felt strips in the direction

from the back wall to the front wall. The felt should extend from the edge by approximately 2-4 cm.

Attach the roof felt to the roof boards with the supplied felt nails at intervals of about 15 cm. Make sure

that the felt strips overlap by at least 10 cm.

Having installed the roof cover material, attach the

wind braces to the roof and the facia boards to the

rafters and upper wall logs.

Installation of wind braces and facia boards:

Floor

Only when the house is built completely you can install the floor boards, thus avoiding unnecessary

smudging on the floor.

Place the floor boards on the base frame, tap them lightly against one another and then nail them with

force to the foundation joists. If necessary, cut the last floor board to the suitable width.

The final operation is the fitting of the floor beadings to cover the spaces between the floor boards and

walls. If necessary, cut the floor beadings to the suitable length.

ATTENTION: Depending on the climate at the house location, the floor boards can either swell or

diminish. If the floor boards are very dry while the climate is damp, they will easily absorb moisture. In

Installation manual

this case, the floor boards should not be attached very densely to avoid likely bulging. Leave some

space (1-2 mm) between the floor boards to allow for swelling. But if your climate is warm and dry, you

can install the boards densely because they will become drier and spaces may appear between them.

Storm braces (NB! Not included in some house option kits!)

Attach the storm braces (if included in

the supplied kit) to the inner sides of

the front (2 units) and back (2 units)

walls with the supplied bolts. It is

important for the logs to be drilled

through in advance. Please keep the

distances indicated in the drawing so

that no problems occur due to wood

swelling or diminishing.

ADVICE: Make sure that the storm

braces are attached to the apex log

from above and to the middle of the

first full-length wall log from below. If

necessary, shorten the upper ends of

the slats.

Do not turn the screws tightly so wood

can further swell or diminish.

With the house having settled, you

should adjust the attachments so the

wall logs can settle.

Installation of storm braces:

General advice:

Problem: Gaps appear between the wall logs

Cause: Additional details are attached to the house that do not allow wood to

swell/diminish.

Solutions: If the door/window is attached to the wall logs with screws/nails, remove these

screws/nails;

If the storm brace is screwed on too tightly, loosen its attachment;

If (rain water) pipes are installed on the wall, loosen their attachments;

Problem: The doors and windows become stuck.

Cause: The house/foundation has settled.

Solution: Check whether the house is level. Level the foundation joists and walls.

Cause: The doors and windows have swelled due to moisture.

Solution: Adjust the door and window hinges; if necessary, plane the door or window narrower.

We wish you total success with the garden house installation and much

joy with this house for many years to come!
