9. Fitting the door
Position the doors in the opening and secure each door in place with three T-hinges and 7 x 25mm screws per hinge as shown below. On the inside of the right-hand door
secure the tower bolts to the mounting blocks using 4 x 19mm round head screws per bolt. With the doors shut, position a door coverstrip so it overlaps both doors and
is flush at the top of the doors, secure only to left-hand door using 3 x 22mm screws. In the same way fix the other door coverstrip flush to the bottom of the door. Fit
the hasp and staple between the two coverstrips using 7 x 19mm round head screws as shown below. Position the turn button just above the left-hand door secure to the
apex panel using 1 x 22mm screw.

Important information - retain for future reference
To
VALIDATE
the guarantee, shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment the building must be properly treated with a recognised
external wood preserver
WITHIN 3 MONTHS
of assembly and
RE-TREATED ANNUALLY
thereafter.
Adequate provision must be made to 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
additional 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.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose some
of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the
wooden panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the
building or the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
