3 Window units are fitted as above
fig 20) when you have built up to the
correct height
Fig 20
4 Note Door and window units do not
require fixing
5. Slide all pieces between door and
window into place from above.
6 Once the door and window units are
in place continue assembling the walls
as before but slide the logs into the door
or window frame (fig 21) from above
then tap them down.
Fig 21
1 Once gables are in place knock down
all the walls again as in fig 16 to ensure
all the walls are fully home
2 Fix the gable with1x80mm screw at
each end (fig 22.)
Fig 22
1 Fit roof bearers into slots provided in
the gable sections (fig 23 & 24).
Fig 23
2 Measure the distance between each
roof bearer and the roof bearers and
walls to ensure all components are fully
home before continuing.
Fig 24
3 Position the eaves edging strips
( fig 25 &26) level at both ends with the
gable angle (front and back walls) and
screw to the wall with 50mm screws at
approximately 400 centres.

Fig 26
4 The first roof board is now ready to
be positioned (fig 27).
Fig 27
5 Start at the front, place the board level
with the end of the roof bearers and
central over the middle bearer to pro-
duce an even overhang (fig 27).
6 Fix into place at the roof bearers and
angled eaves edgings using two 40mm
nails at each bearer & eaves edging
Fig 28
7 The final roof board will need to be
cut. Place it in position and measure the
distance between the end of the roof
bearers and the edge of the board. This
will tell you how much you need to cut off
(fig28).
8 Next fit the roof edgings to the sides of
the building with 50 mm screws at
approximately 300mm centres (Fig. 29).

see drawing pages 1& 2
2 space out the floor bearers (319mm
between ) with the widest side to the
floor.
3. place the first deck board on top of the
boards ( fig 30 )and ensuring that it is
flush and true with the bearers screw at
each bearer with 2 x 50mm screws.
Fig 30
4 To prevent finger entrapment use a £1
coin as a spacer (less than 5mm) (fig
31 ) fix the rest of the deck boards as
before.
Fig 31
5. slide into position .
1 One 10m -roll of felt has been
supplied,
Fig 32
2 measure the length of the roof (fig 32)
and add 100 mm to that length . This
length is used to cut 3 strips from the
roll. (fig 33)
.
Fig 33
3 use a piece of floorboard as a guide to
cut the felt. (fig 34)
Fig 34
4 measure up 966mm and mark (fig 35)
at the front and back of each side of
( and along ) the roof.
Fig 35
5 Starting at the lower edge (eaves)
place 1 piece of felt from front to back of
the building
6 An overhang of approximately 100mm
should be allowed at the front and the
back (all felt strips) and the length of the
eaves edgings at the side (Fig 36).
7 line up the felt at the marks (step 4)
leaving enough for a 50mm overhang
( fig 36)then Secure with felt nails at
approximately 100mm spacing. But only
a couple along the high edge at this time
(nailed with overlap).
Fig 36
.8 Repeat on the other side.
9. Place the last piece across the ridge.
(high point ) Evenly overlap the other
pieces of felt (fig 37 ) . then nail as
before.
Fig 37
Fig 38
10. 8 On the underside of the outside
corners (fig 38 ) neatly cut, fold and
secure using 1x felt nail.
11. Nail with felt nails at each roof
bearer leaving space for fixing the
fascias.
