5. Securing the walls to the floor
Ensure the panels are sitting square on the floor. Secure them by screwing through the panel frames into the floor using 8 x 63mm screws.
3. Wall panels
Position two back panel and one side panel on the floor at the back left corner as shown. Note how the panel frames sit on the floor with the panel cladding overhanging
the floor edge. Ensure square and secure the two panels together using 3 x 50mm screws. Screw through the frame of the side panel into the frame of the back panel.
Position another panel on the back wall next to the other, ensure level and secure them together using 3 x 50mm screws, screw through the frame of the first panel into
the frame of the second. Continue adding the rest of the panels as shown in the diagrams.
1. Floor
Prepare a level area for the summerhouse to sit. Attach at least three wooden or similar bearers of size 50 x 50 x 2040mm to each of the floor sections (not supplied in
kit). Place the two sections on the floor butted up next to each other, as shown in the diagram.

4. Apex panels
Place the back apex panel on top of the back wall, make sure the bottom shiplap board of the apex panel fits correctly into the shiplap board of the back wall. Secure using
2 x 50mm screws, screw up through the top frame of the back panel into the bottom frame of the apex panel. Repeat for front apex using 70mm screws. Attach to the front
apex the door frame beading using 2 x 30mm nails. Secure it to the bottom of the framing, up against the cladding about 560mm from the right front panel as shown below.

Important
When laying the floor, it is
important to note the T&G floor
boards must run from the front
of the building to the back.
Important
Important note
ensure ground contact is avoided and air is able to circulate underneath
the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is acceptable
provided that the building is not allowed to sit in pooled water during
wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it
MUST
be erected on pressure
treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar bearers
(These are not
supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure treated bearers
with all buildings on any type of base.
Fit the glass. With the glass
in place fit the outer edge
beading first. Pin each
beading strip with 3 x 25mm
panel pins.
It is easier to glaze the
doors and window
panels prior to assembly.
Important

. Glazing
Lay the doors and window panels on the ground. Working on one panel at a time, apply a small amount of waterproof silicon sealant around the edge of each piece of glazing before
placing the window panes into the frames. When all glass is in place, fit the beading into position. Fit the outer edges first, then the horizontal spars and for the door
s
, fit the three
vertical
centre spars. Attach each of beading and spar pieces with 3 x 25mm panel pins.
Then fit the horizontal
spars and then the
vertical spars. Pin each
spar with 3 x 25mm
panel pins.
Gloves
Caution
Wear protective
gloves while
handling the
glazing.
