Installation manual - English
Base frame
(Foundation joists)
The base frame of the house must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds
without problems.
ATTENTION: different house can have different foundation placements
– see the appended
base frame drawing (in Technical specifications)!
Place the impregnated foundation joists on the prepared foundation in accordance with the drawing at
equal intervals. Make sure that the joists are level and prior to screwing them together.
ADVICE : It is recommended to place between the foundation joists and foundation a damp-proof
course that will protect the house from moisture and decay.
ADVICE : To ensure protection from wind and storm, it is recommended to attach the foundation joists
to the foundation (for this, you can use for instance metal angles, anchors, etc.). The corresponding
materials are not included in the supplied kit!
Installation of foundation joists:
Floor
Install the floor right after foundation
bearers have been placed into
position and screwed together.
Cover the floor for the assembling
time thus avoiding unnecessary
smudging on the floor.
Start assembling the floor as shown
on the drawing moving in both
directions. If necessary, cut the last
boards of the sides to suitable
width.
When placing floor boards, please
note that the boundary line of floor
boards must be all around the floor
27 mm inside from external edge of
foundation bearers. It will guarantee
that the first layer of wall logs will fit
on the base frame.
