Before erecting the construction, contact the local planning authorities to find out whether you need planning
permission for your weka product.
Check whether the foundation contains power cables or water pipes and locate them.
Preparation
For correct installation, proper embedding of the H-shaped post anchors in the concrete foundation is
indispensable. The post anchors are available as accessories from weka.
The foundation plan is available from your specialist dealer!
After levelling the ground, measure the foundation (height, width, length) and prepare it for installation.
To facilitate the exact positioning and alignment of the anchors, mark the post positions on a lath and secure
the anchors with screw clamps to the lath.
Then position the anchors in the holes in the foundation, keeping a minimum distance of 2 cm between the
upper edge of the foundation and the upper brace.
Fill the holes with concrete and let the foundation cure for minimum 3 days.
Where timber elements are placed directly on the foundation (e.g. rear walls, equipment rooms, etc.), install
a damping course (e.g. roofing felt) between the foundation and the timber to prevent rising damp.
The damp-proofing material is not included in the scope of supply.
To be observed during installation!
For the installation of you weka product, you must work in teams of minimum 2 people.
All screw connections must be pre-drilled to prevent
damage to the timber elements!
This symbol in the instruction document reminds you
to pre-drill:
To ensure perpendicularity, measure the diagonals and correct the position until the measured values are
the same.
Roof boarding
Where the roof is clad with tongued and grooved boards, do not push the boards together too tightly, as the
boards will swell slightly when exposed to moisture,
The roofing felt supplied with your product provides some protection against the elements but is not suitable
as a permanent roof cover. To make you construction weather-proof, you must install a second layer (e.g.
bitumen felt or shingles).
Otherwise, your weka product will be damaged over time.
Note
Regularly check all screws and re-tighten them, if necessary. This product consists mainly of solid timber
elements. As timber is a natural product, it might shrink, so that screw connections become loose.
