Laying the deck boards.
Begin laying the deck boards from the
door side. They are already cut to the
correct length and are inserted and
attached with the groove towards the
wall. Nail the
fi
rst
fl
oor board to the
foundation beams underneath, once at
the groove side from above (approx. 1
cm from the wall) and once at the front
where the tongue is. Make sure the spa-
cing from the
fl
oor board to the wall is
approx. 5 mm. It is essential to observe
the spacing. Insert the next
fl
oor board
and press it
fi
rmly against the already
laid boards. Nail them to the foundation
beams at the groove side.
Caution: Do
not damage the groove when driving
in the nail (Use a hammering aid).
Lay and attach all
fl
oor boards, one af-
ter the other, as described above. The
fi
nal
fl
oor board needs to be cut to size
in most cases. Make sure to observe the
spacing to the wall of approx. 5 mm.
Now attach the provided baseboards to
the wall. Saw the corners with a mitre
saw.
Laying the roof felt.
Roof felt not include in the package;
available as accessory at your specialist
supplier.
Roll out the roof felt from one side to the
other beginning at the lower part of the
roof. Allow a few protruding centimetres
and cut the excess felt off.
Fix the roof felt to the roof boarding with roo
fi
ng nails or staples. The felt may protrude a few centimetres at the left/right-hand side
and below. Cut off the excess felt with a sharp cutter and a wooden strip neatly at the edges of the gable boards and fascia boards.
Lay the sheets so that the next layers always overlap the underlying sheet at the upper edge by approx. 20-30 cm.
Always lay the sheets from bottom to top; the
fi
nal sheet at the ridge (top of the roof) should be laid last over both roof parts. When
installing a gutter
(available as a special accessory)
it is advisable to leave 5 cm of excess roof felt on the fascia board so that the
water can
fl
ow directly into the gutter.
Bertsch Holzbau generally recommends laying bitumen roof shingles on top of the roof felt (bitumen shingles are optionally availab-
le). This guarantees greater and better protection of the roof and therefore the whole summer house.
