this case, the floor boards should not be attached very densely to avoid likely bulging. Leave some
space (1-2 mm) between the floor boards to allow for swelling. But if your climate is warm and dry, you
can install the boards densely because they will become drier and spaces may appear between them.
Storm braces
(NB! Not included in some house option kits!)
Attach the storm braces (if included in
the supplied kit) to the inner sides of
the front (2 units) and back (2 units)
walls with the supplied bolts. It is
important for the logs to be drilled
through in advance. Please keep the
distances indicated in the drawing so
that no problems occur due to wood
swelling or diminishing.
ADVICE : Make sure that the storm
braces are attached to the apex log
from above and to the middle of the
first full-length wall log from below. If
necessary, shorten the upper ends of
the slats.
Do not turn the screws tightly so wood
can further swell or diminish.
With the house having settled, you
should adjust the attachments so the
wall logs can settle.
Installation of storm braces:
General advice:
Problem: Gaps appear between the wall logs
Cause: Additional details are attached to the house that do not allow wood to
swell/diminish.
Solutions: If the door/window is attached to the wall logs with screws/nails, remove these
screws/nails;
If the storm brace is screwed on too tightly, loosen its attachment;
If (rain water) pipes are installed on the wall, loosen their attachments;
Problem: The doors and windows become stuck.
Cause: The house/foundation has settled.
Solution: Check whether the house is level. Level the foundation joists and walls.
Cause: The doors and windows have swelled due to moisture.
Solution: Adjust the door and window hinges; if necessary, plane the door or window narrower.
We wish you total success with the garden house installation and
much joy with this house for many years to come!
