Installation manual
Having installed the roof boards, the roof felt and roof
slats must be attached.
The table of components shows whether the roof
cover material and slats are included with this
house option!
First of all, screw the roof edge reinforcements and eave
edgings under the roof board ends. Then install the roof
cover material.
Installation of roof slats:
Roof cover material (NB! Some house options do not include it in the kit!)
Cut the roof felt in accordance with the roof length into suitable pieces and begin installing them
parallel to the lower edge of the roof, moving toward the crest and placing the felt strips in the direction
from the back wall to the front wall. The felt should extend from the edge by approximately 2-4 cm.
Attach the roof felt to the roof boards with the supplied felt nails at intervals of about 15 cm. Make sure
that the felt strips overlap by at least 10 cm.
Floor
Only when the house is built completely you can install the floor boards, thus avoiding unnecessary
smudging on the floor.
Place the floor boards on the base frame, tap them lightly against one another and then nail them with
force to the foundation joists. If necessary, cut the last floor board to the suitable width.
The final operation is the fitting of the floor beadings to cover the spaces between the floor boards and
walls. If necessary, cut the floor beadings to the suitable length.
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.
