BEFORE STARTING THE ASSEMBLY

2 people with little assembly experience can easily assemble the chalet
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is very important to prepare the foundation correctly. It must be perfectly leveled and
straight in order to avoid problems such as :
• Doors and windows that won’t open;
• Wooden boards that can expand freely when damp and then contract back to their original
shape, which causes gaps between the boards.
Depending on the soil type, we recommend you to dig a trench 15-20 cm deep, fill it with
sand, seal it and then lay the floor slabs framed with concrete edge or pour a concrete
slab over the entire surface (perfect solution). The level of the foundation should always be
above the level of the ground.
INITIAL PREPARATION OF THE BOARDS:
Before installation, all untreated wood boards must be covered with a stain or other product
that optimally protects the wood. 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 shed, 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.
