Your 28 mm log cabin is extremely solid and stable - there is no doubt about that, but the burden on any house
caused by the force of gales must be considered.
To encache the gale resistance of your summer house, please mount the wind braces - one in each inside corner
of the cabinm incorporating the gable. See
(not showing model Luzern).
To achieve this, drill a 6 mm hole through the lowest board of the gable in the top third of the slit on the strip of
beading and fix using enclosed bolts, with the nuts facing inwards. It is important not to tighten the top nuts too
firmly, to allow the structure room to "settle" - screw the strips down firmly using the remaining bolts.
Please take care that there is enough of space between the wind braces and the roof, so that the wind braces
would not touch the roof when the walls settle down.
At very windy and stormy building places special
care must be taken when fixing the cabin to the foundation and when fixing the roof construction to the cabin.
This might require some extra hardware, which are not included in delivery.
