Page 2: Before You Get Started
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. SUMMER WINTER WOOD WARPING CONTRACTION EXPANSION MAY OCCUR Please do not paint or treat your cabin timbers before assembly as they must stay dry for a snug tongue and groove fit. 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 preservative AFTER assembly, both internally and externally, then annually thereafter. 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 firm and level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion. The constructed base must be at least the size of tanalised floor bearers as referenced in supplied construct diagram. It is also recommended that the floor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding. - Page 3 Whilst all products manufactured are made to the highest standards of safety, we cannot accept responsibility for your safety whilst erecting or using this product.

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 firm and level to ensure that the building is assembled properly and is square. • Please carefully remove the packaging and unpack the components in your delivery. NOTE: ADDITIONAL TIMBER MAY BE INCLUDED AS PACKING MATERIALS. • 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.
- Page 6 TIGER DELUXE ANIMAL LOG CABIN GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: UNPACKING CABIN COMPONENTS: • Unpack all components from your supplied cabin pack(s) and place each individual component in the correct order using the supplied construct diagram and parts list as a guide. Ensure all components are present and in the correct position before beginning assembly. • Each log interlocks in a staggered pattern. NOTE: SOME LOGS FEATURE ADDITIONAL FULL NOTCHES & HALF NOTCHES. • Before securing, ensure that the logs are fitted properly in their respective tongue and grooves, gently tapping down with a mallet. (Detail A1 & A2) TOP TIP Use packing materials to protect when tapping logs into place.

- Page 8 TIGER DELUXE ANIMAL LOG CABIN GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Step 4: INSTALL GABLE TOPS • Continue building interlocking logs until eaves height. (Detail C) EAVES HEIGHT Step 5: SECURE STORM BRACES • Fix storm braces to the inside of gables with 2x CB40 provided. Always leave the bottom CB40 slack enough to let the storm brace move as the cabin expands and contracts. (Detail D1 & D2) NOTE: ENSURE THE STORM BRACES ARE SECURED INTO THE GABLE TOP ON EACH SIDE.
- Page 9 Please retain instructions for future reference Step 6: INSTALL ROOF PANELS • Attach roof panels as shown. There will be a slight gap between the roof panels at the apex of cabin. (Detail E1) • Secure apex purlins by pushing panels together and fixing with 4x N65 evenly spaced along length per panel. (Detail E2) • Secure into walls using 4x N65 per roof panel. • Secure into gable tops using 2x N65 per gable top per roof panel. TOP TIP You may need someone to hold roof panels together while you secure roof panels at the apex.
- Page 10 TIGER DELUXE ANIMAL LOG CABIN GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Step 7: FELT CABIN ROOF • Roll felt out onto a clean flat surface 30 minutes before you need it so it has a chance to flatten out. • Measure length of roof and allow 75mm overhang at each end. Cut each strip of felt to size. Use a straight edge to guide cutting. • Roll cut felt piece along low side of roof, Section 1, leaving sufficient overhang to fold down onto roof edge. • Do not fold underneath roof. (Detail F1 & F2) • Once felt is rolled out, fix felt to roof boards using CN13 at each end, making sure the felt is straight. Fix to roof skirting at approx. 100mm intervals. (Detail F3) Ensure the felt is tight, then secure the top side of felt using CN13 at approx. 100mm intervals. • Repeat for remaining felt, working from the low side of roof to the high side, overlapping the felt by 75mm until the roof is fully covered. • Fold the overhanging felt at ends under roof panel and tack in place.

Nail through top purlin and bottom roof batten. Complete the look with finials over the join at apex. Secure using 2x N40 per finial. NOTE: THERE ARE NO BARGEBOARDS SUPPLIED FOR LOW SIDE OF ROOF AS THIS WILL PREVENT EFFECTIVE WATER DRAINAGE. Step 9: FIT DOOR (CAT CABIN ONLY) • Check the doors are square and screw the fascia boards externally, into the logs behind with 6x S40 evenly spaced as shown. (Detail G)
