ATTENTION! This step-by-step plan is a universal, general copy and may differ from the
model purchased. However, the steps shown apply to all models.
BEFORE STARTING THE ASSEMBLY
2 people with little assembly experience can easily assemble the desk in 1 or 2
days.
CHECK THE CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE:
Upon receipt and before starting assembly, please ensure the package is complete. Check the
product for damage or missing parts. If you notice any missing or damaged parts, please contact
your seller. You may check the contents of the package by using the enclosed Parts List (section
B). All dimensions are approximate.
SUPPORT:
It's very important to build your slab correctly. It must be level to avoid problems such as :
• Doors and windows that won't open;
• Walls that cannot expand/reduce in damp weather, resulting in gaps between the planks.
Depending on the soil, we recommend excavating to a depth of 15 to 20cm, filling with sand,
compacting, and then positioning slabs blocked by a concrete strip or pouring a concrete slab
over the entire surface (ideal). The foundation level should always be above ground level.
PRE-TREATMENT OF LOGS FOR UNTREATED WOODEN GARDEN OFFICES:
If you've purchased an untreated wooden garden office, you'll need to treat the raw wood with
a woodstain or other wood-protecting product before starting assembly. This product should be
UV-resistant and also protect the wood against moisture and biological factors. The boards must
be completely dry before assembly. (ATTENTION! Do not paint the board joints, protrusions
and grooves).
After assembling the garden office, we recommend the following maintenance routine:
• Apply a second coat of colored stain or paint with high UV protection. Clear/transparent
stain often provides slightly less UV protection than a colored stain. The darker the shade, the
better the protection.
• Follow the paint/stain manufacturer's instructions.
If you notice that the wood begins to "leak", repeat the staining or painting process.
NECESSARY TOOLS:
Ladder, stain or paint, brush, roller, knife, hammer, rubber mallet, Phillips and flathead
screwdriver, spirit level, saw, cordless screwdriver, drill machine, safety goggles.
