BEFORE YOU START
Please read through these instructions to familiarise yourself with your summerhouse. We recommend that you
check
all the components
using the lists found on the front and back pages before you start to build.
All of our summerhouses are constructed in the same way. They simply come with different components depending on
the type of summerhouse you have. Don’t worry if your fixing pack contains some spare items at the end of the build
(you haven’t missed a bit!) we have sent you a generic fixing pack to suit the summerhouse range.
Please note that your
door
windows have a coloured protective film on them.
We advise to keep the protective film
on, until the build is complete to prevent any possible damages to the windows during assembly.
It is vital that you build your new summerhouse on a solid, level base. Timber or plastic bases are
ideal, as are concrete slabs or solid concrete.
We recommend using the following tools (not supplied):
If you have an existing base and think it is suitable for your new summerhouse to be sited on,
it is important that you check it is level and doesn’t deviate by any more than 15mm from edge
to edge. If this is not the case, the building will twist causing gaps to appear in the sections and
causing the roof, doors and windows to misalign.
There is more information on base preparation on our website
www.forestgarden.co.uk
Assembly is relatively straightforward if you follow these step-by-step instructions.
We recommend aligning components properly before securing them together and
pre-drilling
screw holes to avoid splitting the timber.
