Wood is a natural product. Varied colouring, knurls and crack formation are normal and have no
influence on the statics.
Dry cracks may form as a result of extreme weather conditions, especially after long hot periods.
These dry cracks are in no way a defect in quality but are a part of the natural appearance of the
wood. Depending on the weather these cracks may close up again to a minimum. Moreover, these dry
cracks, which form longitudinally in the wood, have no effect on the strength and resilience of the
material.

5.2. Packaging

Please do not simply throw away the packaging material. Paper, card and corrugated board as well as
plastic packaging materials should be placed in the correct collection containers.

The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises

two floor beams which are required for the

assembly of the cabin

and two distance timbers which are only packaging material and can be

disposed of.

5.3 Wood protection

The product is made from natural timber, for which regular and adequate wood preservation measures
are obligatory. Please contact a wood preservation expert for information on professional preservation
measures.
Wood preservation is to be carried out by the customer at his own risk. No guarantee can be given in
the event of wood preservation not carried out in accordance with the instructions. Please also note
the provisions relating to this in our guarantee. We wish you much pleasure with your wood product.

5.4. Assembly information

Please follow the safety information contained in point 4.3.

5.4.1. This must be considered before installation!

Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a log cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing
electricity and water connections/cables.

Preparation of the substrate

Once the ground has been successfully levelled, the height and horizontal position of the foundations
are to be marked out (see point 6).

Foundations

A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation. We recommend a
continuous foundation. A foundation plan can be obtained from your specialist dealer. A raft
foundation is also possible.
In order to avoid rising damp, we recommend that a barrier layer be laid between the foundation and
the floor beams using the packaging film, roofing paper or similar. Roofing paper for a barrier layer is
not included in the scope of this delivery.
In order to avoid wind damage, anchor the floor beams of the cabin to the foundation. Concrete
anchors or steel angles and heavy-duty dowels available from specialist dealers are suitable for this.
The anchors are not included in the scope of this delivery.

Wood protection
(Cf. also point 5.3). If you arrange to have the assembly carried out by a weka assembly team, the
required applications of the wood protection agent must be completed prior to assembly beginning.
