Overview

 

 
Set the base out in the exact position you  
want the finished building in, its much easier than  
trying to move it when it’s built! 
 
Follow the manual and assemble the sections as recommended.    
 
When screwing through one piece of timber into another it is always  
recommended to pre-drill the first piece with the 4mm drill bit provided.  
This will prevent the timber from splitting which could be unsightly.  
 
Read through the rest of this manual before starting, you are less likely to miss  
something doing this and you will have a better understanding of how it all works.   
 
If any glass is broken during construction or afterwards you will need to carefully remove the window 
beading to replace the glass.  You can either call our customer service team for a quote or source it 
locally.  The glass size in the top and bottom windows are 377mm x 657mm and 1109mm x 657mm 
respectively. The glass size in the doors are 1570mm x 485mm.
