Dear summerhouse owner, Your cabin was manufactured with the greatest care and expertise from good quality, well-dried, fine- grained spruce. The material we use is purely natural, and being solid wood is vigorous and active. Despite technical drying methods it is, nonetheless, impossible to completely prevent some degree of warping, the formation of resin and cracks, especially on the outside surfaces The varying knot formations are...

Foundations The key to stability, functionality and endurance is a good foundation for your summer house. Only ensure a perfect fit for the timbers, the door and absolutely level, strong footings (for the veranda as well) the window while guaranteeing stability. Flagstones or paving bricks on top of a (frost-free) bed of gravel are suitable, but frost-resisting concrete (either over the whole area or in the form of piers) is also ideal as a base for the floor-joists (and is also good for ventilation).

Erecting the walls + door and windows of the foundations, leaving 1-2 m working space. See Arrange all the parts for each wall on either side diagram 2. Before you start assembling the walls, lay the 7 floor-joists lengthwise and flat, and about the same distance apart on top of the footings.

Continue erecting the walls, one layer of planks at a time, according to diagram 1 until the 3rd or 4th timber has been reached. At this point, the door - complete with door frame - has to be inserted carefully in the space provided (avoid jamming it, which is why the walls must not be any higher...).

Important! Afew words about wood and fitting the door: As we have already mentioned, it is technically impossible to produce absolutely inert material in the case of wood, even with the most sophisticated production methods, since it is a purely natural material. Due to the constantly changing temperatures and air moisture content during the course of the year, combined with rain, wind and sunshine, wood will always shrink and swell alternately, as the pores absorb moisture and dry out again.

Roofing Finish Start Sawing direction Now check again that the whole structure is perfectly square, that the doors can be opened and closed properly and that the gable follows the lines of the front and back wall- if all this is all right, work can commence on the roof.

Installation of the bitumen shingles Bitumen shingles are attached directly to roofboards. Appropriate working temperature is above +5 C. The surface must be dry and clean. Begin from the eaves by fixing the first row of bitumen shingles, strips upwards according to Pic. A. Measure the eaves' medium and place the joint of the bitumen shingles in the eaves' medium.

Protection against gales Your 28 mm log cabin is extremely solid and stable - there is no doubt about that, but the burden on any house caused by the force of gales must be considered. To encache the gale resistance of your summer house, please mount the wind braces - one in each inside corner of the cabinm incorporating the gable.

Completion and preserving + treating woodwork Once you have completed the window and door fittings, fix the facing panels to the frames to cover the slits above the windows and door inside and outside the cabin. We stress the importance of mounting them on the framework and not on the wall timbers, to allow the structure room to "settle".
