The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises two floor beams which are required for the
assembly of the cabin and two distance timbers which are only packaging material and can be
disposed of.
5.3 Wood protection
The product is made from natural timber, for which regular and adequate wood preservation measures
are obligatory. Please contact a wood preservation expert for information on professional preservation
measures.
Wood preservation is to be carried out by the customer at his own risk. No guarantee can be given in
the event of wood preservation not carried out in accordance with the instructions. Please also note
the provisions relating to this in our guarantee. We wish you much pleasure with your wood product.
5.4. Assembly information
Please follow the safety information contained in point 4.3.
5.4.1. This must be considered before installation!
Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a log cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing
electricity and water connections/cables.
Preparation of the substrate
Once the ground has been successfully levelled, the height and horizontal position of the foundations
are to be marked out (see point 6).
Foundations
A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation. We recommend a
continuous foundation. A foundation plan can be obtained from your specialist dealer. A raft
foundation is also possible.
In order to avoid rising damp, we recommend that a barrier layer be laid between the foundation and
the floor beams using the packaging film, roofing paper or similar. Roofing paper for a barrier layer is
not included in the scope of this delivery.
In order to avoid wind damage, anchor the floor beams of the cabin to the foundation. Concrete
anchors or steel angles and heavy-duty dowels available from specialist dealers are suitable for this.
The anchors are not included in the scope of this delivery.
Wood protection
(Cf. also point 5.3). If you arrange to have the assembly carried out by a weka assembly team, the
required applications of the wood protection agent must be completed prior to assembly beginning.
5.4.2. This must be considered during installation!
At least two people are required to assemble the log cabin.
Please drill pilot holes for all screw connections to avoid damaging the wood. The following symbol in
the instructions will indicate when this is necessary:
The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises two floor beams which are to be used in the
assembly of the cabin.
The intermediate spaces between the floor beams guarantee the necessary subfloor ventilation for the
house.
Fit the wall boards together, with the tongue pointing upwards. If necessary, use a rubber mallet. The
assembly timber will prevent any damage to the tongue. The assembly timber can be found in the
cabin's front wall pack.
