Erecting the veranda
9.
Now it is time to add the veranda. Begin by laying the 11, 1.50 m long foundation beams T14 according to
. These are pushed slightly under the front wall of the cabin - the depth of the veranda is determined
by the balustrade.
indicates in detail how the veranda should be constructed. See the part list of the
veranda on the next page.
The 2 short foundation beams T15 are inserted under the corner posts leading to the entrance of the veranda, to
support the first floorboard.
The 2 half-width planks T5 are placed on top of the outer foundation beams - here too, please allow a slight
overhang and sufficient space on the inside to take the flooring of the veranda. Now lay the floorboards T16/1
and T16/2 (see
), and arrange them prior to nailing them, so that they are evenly spaced (
. The final floorboard T17 protrudes slightly at the front between
the corner posts - please make sure that this board is well and firmly supported by the foundation beams.
The floorboard next to the house shall be screwed in place to be removed when checking the tension rod
system of the house.
The corner posts are screwed to the footings using metal brackets as well - then lay the T9 + T10 veranda
planks as the two U-profile strips T11 to finish the right and left-hand sides of the entrance.
Finally, attach the balustrade to the cabin using the 4 T12 connecting planks. The remaining smooth-edged
timbers T18/1 and T18/2 are nailed to the foundation beam by way of an optical facing - please ensure that the
whole of the base is well ventilated. This is still the best protection against rot.
