Position the foundation logs flush to the base edges as shown, build the walls up 3 layers by interlocking the wall log rebates together. Please note below the position of

the front wall half log and the right window wall log with rebate.

Note: While building up the walls it

is important to ensure the walls are

kept square and that each log piece

is seated properly. It may be

necessary to tap each piece down

with a mallet.

Note: All wall logs have a tongue

and groove profile. Ensure that the

It is recommended to lay the roof boards out on the floor to ensure correct orientation and position of each board. Start flush to the ends of the roof bearers and work

your way forward interlocking the tongue and grooves of each board. Secure each board using 2 x 50mm nails where ever the board crosses a bearer. For the angled roof

sections, each board is numbered to show which section of the roof it is used on.Take time to ensure that all the boards will fit together correctly.

Start with these 2

boards, have them flush

to the ends of the

bearers

Important Note:

It maybe neccessary to cut a section of

the top of the topwall logs to allow the

roof to fit correctly.

ensuring the tongue and groove of the boards are properly interlocked and are secured down with 2 x 50mm nails where ever the board crosses a floor joist. Round the

edge of the floor attach the skirting. Use 8 x 50mm nails to attach the back wall pieces of skirting (2957mm). Nail through the skirting into the walls. Fit the window wall

Important information

This building is supplied untreated. To VALIDATE the guarantee, the building must be properly treated with a recognised external wood preserver

UPON ASSEMBLY and RE-TREATED ANNUALLY thereafter.

Timber Information.

As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose

some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout

the wooden panels.This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on

the building or the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.

We constantly improve the quality of our products,

occasionally the components may differ from the

components shown and are only correct at time of

printing. We reserve the right to change the

specification of our products without prior notice.
