Attach the wide fascia boards C8/D8 flush with the roof -
.
Then the work can begin on the roofing fabric. Cut sheets the length of the roof with exactly 90° corners and
start laying the roofing felt parallel to the eaves. Be sure to allow an overhang of 2-3 cm - this is the best way of
protecting the roof planks from dampness. See
Start at the eaves and finish with a strip along the
apex. Then follow the wind shields A9/B5 and finally, the ends of the lengths of roofing fabric are fixed behind

Protection against gales
7.
Your 45 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.
For this reason, a stable, firm foundation - house - roof connection is all-important. To enhance the gale
recistance of your summer house, the Lillevilla 80 is equipped with a tension rod system. This is probably the
best and most stable solution that can be provided for log cabins.
To ensure this safety to the full at all times, you should regularly tighten the nuts of the tension rods, gently and
without force. In the damp months the wood is likely to swell - then loosen the nuts a little. This allows the
walls to "readjust" without being hindered by the threaded rods.
