Packaging; Wood Protection; This Must Be Considered Before Installation - Weka 213.2424.40010 Manual

Incorrect storage may result in:
Wood is a natural product. Varied colouring, knurls and crack formation are normal and have no influence on
the statics.
Dry cracks may form as a result of extreme weather conditions, especially after long hot periods. These dry
cracks are in no way a defect in quality but are a part of the natural appearance of the wood. Depending on the
weather these cracks may close up again to a minimum. Moreover, these dry cracks, which form longitudinally
in the wood, have no effect on the strength and resilience of the material.

4.2. Packaging

Please do not simply throw away the packaging material. Paper, card and corrugated board as well as
plastic packaging materials should be placed in the correct collection containers.
With a few WEKA products, the transport pallet comprises two floor beams which are required for assembly
of the cabin and two distance timbers which are only packaging material and may be disposed of. In such
cases, there will be a special note on the packaging of the product.

4.3. Wood protection

The product is made from natural timber, for which regular and adequate wood preservation measures are
obligatory. Please contact a wood preservation expert for information on professional preservation measures.
Wood preservation is to be carried out by the customer at his own risk. No guarantee can be given in the event
of wood preservation not carried out in accordance with the instructions. Please also note the provisions relating
to this in our guarantee. We wish you much pleasure with your wood product.
Remember to treat the interior and exterior of doors and windows with your selected wood protection agent.

4.4. This must be considered before installation!

Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a log cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing electricity
and water connections/cables.
Preparation of the substrate
Once the ground has been successfully levelled, the height and horizontal position of the foundations are to be
marked out (see point 6).
Foundations
A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation. A foundation plan can be obtained
from your specialist dealer.
In order to avoid rising damp, we recommend that a barrier layer be laid between the foundation and the floor
beams using the packaging film, roofing paper or similar. Roofing paper for a barrier layer is not included in the
scope of this delivery.
In order to avoid wind damage, anchor the floor beams of the cabin to the foundation and fix the vertical studs
from the extension to the foundation. Concrete anchors or steel angles and heavy-duty dowels available from
specialist dealers are suitable for this. The anchors are not included in the scope of this delivery.
