Palmako Roger 27.7m2, Installation Manual

Installation manual 

this case, the floor boards should not be attached very densely to avoid likely bulging. Leave some 
space (1-2 mm) between the floor boards to allow for swelling. But if your climate is warm and dry, you 
can install the boards densely because they will become drier and spaces may appear between them.  

Storm braces 

(NB! Not included in some house option kits!) 

Attach the storm braces (if included in 
the supplied kit) to the inner sides of 
the front (2 units) and back (2 units) 
walls with the supplied bolts. It is 
important for the logs to be drilled 
through in advance. Please keep the 
distances indicated in the drawing so 
that no problems occur due to wood 
swelling or diminishing.  

ADVICE

: Make sure that the storm 

braces are attached to the apex log 
from above and to the middle of the 
first full-length wall log from below. If 
necessary, shorten the upper ends of 
the slats.  

Do not turn the screws tightly so wood 
can further swell or diminish.  

With the house having settled, you 
should adjust the attachments so the 
wall logs can settle.  

Installation of storm braces: 

General advice: 

Problem:  

Gaps appear between the wall logs  

Cause:    

Additional details are attached to the house that do not allow wood to    

  swell/diminish. 
Solutions:  

If the door/window is attached to the wall logs with screws/nails, remove these 
screws/nails; 

If the storm brace is screwed on too tightly, loosen its attachment;  
If (rain water) pipes are installed on the wall, loosen their attachments;  

Problem:  

The doors and windows become stuck. 

Cause:    

The house/foundation has settled. 

Solution: 

Check whether the house is level. Level the foundation joists and walls. 

Cause: 

The doors and windows have swelled due to moisture.  

Solution:  

Adjust the door and window hinges; if necessary, plane the door or window narrower. 

 
We wish you total success with the garden house installation and much 
joy with this house for many years to come!
