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, timber can be affected during various weather conditions. For the duration 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 mitigated. 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 timbers 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 a suitable wood preserver or paint AFTER assembly, both internally and externally.

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 distortion. Refer to diagrams for the base

dimensions.

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 plastic 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.

ASSEMBLY

• Assembly is straightforward if you follow these step-by-step instructions.

• We recommend getting everything aligned properly before screwing together and that

screw holes should be pre-drilled to avoid splitting the timber. (Do not come pre-drilled).

IMPORTANT

• Before assembly, please make sure you have a suitable base ready to erect your building on.

• Your base MUST be level and at to ensure that the building is assembled properly and is square.

• Please carefully remove the untreated timber supports that make up the boxed pallet and unpack the components in

your delivery.

• DO NOT start your build until you have checked that all the parts of your building are present and in a suitable condition.

• If you are organising a third party to install your building, it is best practice not to schedule this immediately on receipt of

your order, to give you time to check your delivery.
