INSTRUCTIONS

TIG/INS44

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 wood logs 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.

Please do not paint or treat your cabin mbers before assembly as they must stay dry for a snug tongue and

groove t. 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, then annually thereaer.

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 tanalised oor bearers 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.

Please see gersheds.com for details.

Step 4:

BEGIN BUILDING WALLS

• Place 1st layer of logs on the edges of the bearers. Ensure half logs are put down rst.

See construct diagram for build order.

• Measure corner to corner diagonally to make sure cabin oor is square. If both values are equal, your frame is

square. Realign the oor unl square. Do not trim.

• Screw logs into tanalised bearers using 3x S80 per log. (1x S80 in centre, 1x S80 per end notch)

• For xing through notches. (Detail D1)

• For xing through half log. (Detail D2 & D3)

• Check that oor is level using a spirit level.

Step 5:

SECURING FLOOR

• Check oorboards are correct size. Do not mix up with roof boards.

• Lay 5 oorboards in posion and tack in place. Leave approx. 2.5mm gap between the edge of the oorboards

and the inside of external walls. (Detail E)

NOTE: DO NOT FULLY SECURE AS THESE ARE ONLY TO KEEP THE FLOOR SQUARE WHILE BUILDING

THE LOG CABIN.*

• *For cabins with internal paron, the oorboards will need to be fully installed at this stage to allow paron

base logs to be installed. Please jump to Step 14 for details.

Step 6:

CONTINUE TO BUILD WALLS

• Using construct diagram as a guide, begin to build up the walls by interlocking the logs layer by layer unl

3 logs high.

• At this point, store remaining oorboards inside the cabin ready for installaon. You may not be able to t

oorboards through the door once cabin has been built.
