ensure to pre-drill to
avoid the boards splitting
) using
4x70mm screws per roof purlin.
*Please note:

Place the first two roof board’s
(No.33)
onto either side of the log cabin,
making sure the boards are fush to the
end of the roof purlin. Once in position fix
to each purlin using 3x40mm screws.
*Ensure the roof boards meet at the top
of the apex and leave an overhang at the
bottom.
Continue adding the roof boards along
the roof, fixing each one into position
using 3x40mm screws, making sure that
each board is interlocked, flush at the
bottom & meet at the top of the apex.
Ensure the roof boards are not laid too
close together, use the spacers
(No. 44)
provided to create a 2mm gap. Adjusting
the spacing between the boards allows
the wood to swell in damp weather.
You have been issued with 74 roof boards,
but in reality you may only need to use 72.
The last board on each side will
overhang past the end of the roof purlin;
Using a straight edge and a pencil mark
out a line as a guide.
Cut along the pencil mark and remove the
excess. Place the cut down board’s back
onto the roof and secure into place using
3x40mm screws per board.
*Please Note:
This image is for illustrative
purposes and may differ from your choice in
product. Nevertheless the process of cutting
and fitting the last roof board(s) is the same.
