To VALIDATE the guarantee, this item should be erected on
50mm x 50mm treated wooden or similar bearers (These are
not supplied with the kit.) Ground contact must be avoided.
1. Floor
Prepare a level area for the summerhouse. Place the floor in to position and ensure level.
2. Doors
Lay the door panel on the floor. Position the doors in the opening, ensure the right-hand door has the holes for the door handle and lock is positioned on the right-hand side.
With the doors evenly spaced around the edge and between each door, secure the hinges in the positions shown below using 9 x 25mm black screws for the 300mm hinge
and 6 x 25mm black screws for the 75mm hinge.
3. Opening Window
Lay the window panel on the floor. Fit the hinges in the rebates on the short edge of the window frame as shown in the diagram using 2 x 20mm screws per hinge, stand the
hinge end of the window on the window panel, making sure it is centred at the top of the window opening. Open the hinges and secure them to the window panel frame
using 5 x 25mm screws per hinge. On the inside of the window panel fit the window stay and its two posts using 6 x 25mm screws as shown in the diagram.
4. Glazing
Glazing the windows can be done once the building is assembled. However it may be easier to install the glass whilst the panels are laid flat on the ground. Working on one
panel at a time lay each door and window panel flat on the ground. Apply a very small bead of waterproof silicon sealant around each glazing rebate. Carefully place a piece of
glazing into each rebate. When all glass is in place, fit the beading into position. Fit the outer edges first, then the horizontal spars and finally the vertical centre spars. Attach
each beading and spar piece with 3 x 25mm panel pins.
Important:
Ensure the door panel
is the right way up and
the right-hand door
(with the holes for door
handle and lock) is fitted
to the right-hand side.
