PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY
3 Place the window into the
aperture. Secure the window
to the panel using 3 x 25mm
screws per hinge, again
through the predrilled holes in
the hinge. Repeat.

best fit. When satisfied
secure into position using 2
x 15mm panel pins per
piece of beading. Repeat for
door window.
1 Screw all side panels to
the floor on the inside of
the building using 2 x
60mm screws per
separate panel, preferably
into the floor joist.
1 Nail facia boards ‘K1’ into position using 3 x 40mm
nails per board. Repeat.
2 Nail diamond ‘K2’
into position
ensuring it is
vertical using 2 x
40mm nails. Repeat
for opposite gable
end.
8 On the underside of
the outside corners
neatly cut, fold and
secure using 1x felt
nail.

G- Facia boards and Diamonds
F - Cornerstrips
1 Nail corner strips ‘I’ at
each corner. Use 3 x
40mm nails per strip.
C - Floor and Wall Assembly

5 Place the floor on a flat level surface. Place ‘A’ and
‘B’ in position, ensuring that the shiplap cladding
overhangs the edge of the floor.
2 Measure in 400mm fro edge to mark centre for next
roof bearer ‘D1’. Repeat from opposite edge.
3 Fix bearer inposition using
1x 40mm nail.
4 Using a straight edge to indicate centres for exising
nails proceed in fixing bearer using 40mm nails at
100mm intervals.

3 Place vents into the
aperture in gable
panel ‘F’.
1 Drill 2 holes on the top bearer vertically on panel ‘A.
2 Position gable panel ‘F’ into position ensuring that the
gable is positioned evenly and flush along the top
edge of the panel. Secure using 2 x 60mm screws.
Repeat.

2 Place roof panel ‘G’ on top of felt ensuring on 3
sides there is an overlap of approximately 50mm on
three sides.
1 Open the roll of felt ‘H’. Place on flat clean surface
and fold in two equal halves. Cut into two equal
pieces on the fold using a cutting knife.
5 Place both
roof panels on
to the building
checking that
the roof
panels are
flush with the
outside edges
of the building
and at the
ridge. The edge with felt nailed in place is the bottom
edge. The felt is nailed to the underside of the roof
overhang. Secure both roof panels in position
through the roof and into the framework of the walls
and gables using 3x 40mm nails for each gable edge
and 5 for each long edge. A total of 22x 40mm nails.
4 For
opposite roof
panel repeat
process 2 and 3
of this section but
this time trim the
edge with the large
overlap flush with the
edge of the panel using a cutting knife.
3 Fold over felt on longest edge with the 50mm
overlap and nail inposition using felt nails at 100mm
intervals.
7 Place the felt on the roof and over the ridge to
overhang the other roof panel with felt already fitted
in place. Secure the felt to the walls and along the
overhang of the existing roof panel using felt nails
spaced at 100mm.
6 One roof panel has the felt trimmed to be flush at
the peak of the building. Place this felt in position
and fix to the walls of the building using felt nails
spaced at 100mm intervals.
1
Check and ensure that no raised grain or splinters are evident on timber
components. Sand down any raised grain or splinters using fine grade
sandpaper.
2
Check that all screw, nail and pin heads are properly tapped home and
are not proud of the timber surface.
3
Check and ensure that no screws, nails or pins protrude through any
panel.
4
Check and ensure that all parts are properly secured against reasonable
force.
5
Do not apply decorative wood finish/treatments to wet or damp timber.
Please observe the instructions of the wood finish/treatment manufacturer.
6
Adults need to check the playhouse regularly and maintain the playhouse
in good condition to provide a safe play environment. Do not use if
damaged. If damaged the playhouse should be properly and safely
repaired before further use by children.
Assembly Completion Checklist
1 Place two
floor bearers ‘D1’ flush
with the outer edges of the floor.
Nail in position using 40mm nails at
100mm intervals.
1 The hinges should be
recessed into the window
frames to a depth of 3mm. To
do this: place one hinge ‘C5’
on the inner rebated part of
the top of the window. The rounded part of the hinge
should sit above the outer edge. Mark the position of
the hinge on the weather proofing part of the window
insert. Remove the hinge. Chisel out the timber to a
depth of 3mm in the positions marked. Repeat.
2 Place the hinge back onto
the insert and screw the
inner piece into position
using the predrilled holes
in the hinge and 2 x 25
mm screws. Repeat.
4 Open the window and fit a
further 2 x 25mm screws per
hinge next to the one already
fitted in Step 1. Repeat.
6 Fit the Casement Stay
on the window using
2 x 25mm screws.
7 Mark where the ‘pins’ will
be placed.
8 Secure into position
using 4 x 25mm screws -
2 in each pin.
5 Fitting the Casement Stay
‘C6’. Place the casement stay
centrally on the inside of the
window. Place the 2 pins ‘C7’
under the casement stay.
Position so that it is not resting on the framework of
the panel and not so high that the pins are of no use.
B - Fit Window Frame C4 (from top)
1 Secure the
pointed part of
the door catch to
the outside edge
of the inside
edge of the door.
Fix into place
using 2 x 12mm
screws.
2 Whilst inside the
building, position
the other part of
the door catch
into the pointed part of the catch and close the
door. Fix into place using 2 x 12mm screws

A - Door Assembly
4 Fitting the door to
front panel. Place
the door into the
aperture. Ensure
there is an equal gap
between the edges of the door and the
aperture. Screw into position using 3 x
25mm screws per hinge.
1. At the top and bottom of the
hinge side of the door, the
corner of the weather proof
overhang needs to be removed.
To do this: determine which side
of the door the hinge will be
fitted to allow either right or left
opening. Place the door on a
flat, level surface, face down. Measure 10 mm along each
side of each corner. Draw a diagonal line connecting the two
marks. Cut this triangular section off using a saw. Repeat.
2. Place the piano hinge along the length of the door making
sure that the hinge does not protrude at either top or bottom.
Fit the small inner part of the hinge to the door using 6 x 25
mm screws in total.
3 Fit ring handle ‘C5’ to the door
inline with the centre door
framework using 4 x 25mm
black screws.
