Installation manual
Foundation
A good foundation is the most important aspect guaranteeing the duration and safety of your house.
Only a completely level and bearing foundation will ensure problem-free installation of the house, its
stability and especially the matching of the doors. With a good foundation, your house will stand for
many years more.
Prepare the foundation so that its upper edge extends from the ground to a height of at least 5 cm. At
the same time make sure that there are sufficient air apertures under the house floor for ventilation.
Consult an expert in this field or have the foundation prepared by specialists.
Walls
When installing the walls, it is important to remember that:
¾
The logs are always assembled with their tongue upwards!
¾
If necessary, use the hitting block and hammer! Never directly hit the tongue with the hammer!
Install the walls in accordance with the appended wall plans (see Technical Specifications).
Floor
ATTENTION : Depending on the climate at the house location, the floor boards can either swell or
diminish. If the floor boards are very dry while the climate is damp, they will easily absorb moisture. In
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.
We wish you total success with the house installation and much
joy with this house for many years to come!
