  • 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.
