Important information

Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To 

VALIDATE

the guarantee, 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 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.

Cut the roll of felt in to to equal lengths. Place a length of felt on one side of the roof. At front and back and along the lower
edge of the roof leave an overhang of felt of at least 45mm. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the felt
batten using 15 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Dress the felt over the roof ridge, tension and secure along the edge using
4 x 10mm felt nails. position the second piece of felt in the same way as the first on the other side  of the roof.  Attach to
the felt batten using 15 x 10mm felt nails, tension over the roof and secure with 15 x 10mm felt nails.  At the front dress
down the felt and secure to the felt blocks and the ends of the felt battens using 6 x 10mm felt nails per end. At the back
