Roof
Before installing the roof, make sure that the house is completely level. Use the water-level to check
all walls.
ATTENTION: When placing the roof, use a stable ladder. Do not step on the roof as the structure is
suitable to sustain only an even load (snow, wind, etc.), and not a point load!
Install the purlins (pos. 165) on the walls so that the notches will cover the corners of the walls. Fixate
the purlins to the central fixing block (Pos. 160) and on the walls. Now place the pos. 161 and 162
from the top to the purlin and from the bottom to the upper wall log. Fixate the U-Profile boards
between the purlins and on the walls.
Start placing the roof boards with the longest board from the bottom. Put the groove side downwards
that the bottom side of the board will meet the
ends of the rafters. It is recommended to place
the roof boards in turns on the all sides of the
roof. 3-5 roof boards in one turn. Fixate the roof
boards on the rafters with 2,5x50 mm nails.
After you have installed the roof boards, cover it
with roof covering material (not included in
house kit). It is necessary to avoid the bulging of
the roof boards due to wetness.
Floor
Only when the house is built completely you can install the floor boards, thus avoiding unnecessary
smudging on the floor.
Place the floor boards on the base frame, tap them lightly against one another and then nail them with
force to the foundation joists. If necessary, cut the last floor board to the suitable width.
The final operation is the fitting of the floor beadings to cover the spaces between the floor boards and
walls. If necessary, cut the floor beadings to the suitable length.
ATTENTION: Depending on the climate at the house location, the floor boards can either swell or
diminish. If the floor boards are very dry while the climate is damp, they will easily absorb moisture. In
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.
