Foundations
1.
The key to stability, functionality and endurance is a good foundation for your summer house. Only
ensure a perfect fit for the timbers, the door and the window while
guaranteeing stability.
In the general drawing you will find the dimensions of your cabin to allow you to
prepare your footings - the 8+8 pedestal beams are laid crosswise; the 11 T1s, 1.50 m in length, are laid for the
veranda, the 2 T2s, 0.50 m in length, support the corner posts of the veranda's balustrade and the first
floorboard at the entrance. See
showing how to place the foundation beams
for the cabin and the terrace.
absolutely level, strong footings
Flagstones or paving bricks on top of a (frost-free) bed of gravel are suitable, but frost-resisting
concrete (either over the whole area or in the form of piers) is also ideal as a base for the floor-joists (and
is also good for ventilation).

Please read chapter 7 "Protection against gales" before preparing the
