Installation manual – English
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 (3/32"x2") 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.
ATTENTION: Do not press the roof boards together too densely and you will avoid moisture-causing
bulging! Leave an interval of about 1 mm (3/64") between the boards to allow for swelling.
• During the whole process of installing the roof boards, make sure that their crest purlins coincide
and the eave sides of the boards extend at a uniform distance. Verify this with a rope or the lateral
eave lath that you may install for verification purposes.
The roof boards must be even with the purlin ends in front and behind. If necessary, saw both last
•
roof boards so narrow that they are even with the purlin ends.
Having installed the roof boards, the roof felt and roof
slats must be attached.
The table of components shows whether the roof
cover material and slats are included with this house
option!
First of all, screw the roof edge reinforcements and eave
edgings under the roof board ends. Then install the roof
cover material.
Roof cover material (NB! Some house options do not
include it in the kit!)
Cut the roof felt in accordance with the roof length into
suitable pieces and begin installing them parallel to the
lower edge of the roof, moving toward the crest and
placing the felt strips in the direction from the back wall to
the front wall. The felt should extend from the edge by
approximately 2–4 cm (1"– 2"). Attach the roof felt to the
roof boards with the supplied felt nails at intervals of
about 15 cm (6"). Make sure that the felt strips overlap by
at least 10 cm (4").
Having installed the roof cover material, attach the wind
braces to the roof and the facia boards to the purlins and
upper wall logs.
