5.4.2. This must be considered during installation!
At least two people are required to assemble the log cabin.
Please drill pilot holes for all screw connections to avoid damaging the wood. The following symbol in
the instructions will indicate when this is necessary:
The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises two floor beams which are to be used in the
assembly of the cabin.
The intermediate spaces between the floor beams guarantee the necessary subfloor ventilation for the
house.
Fit the wall boards together, with the tongue pointing upwards. If necessary, use a rubber mallet. The
assembly timber will prevent any damage to the tongue. The assembly timber can be found in the
cabin’s front wall pack.
In order to check the right angles, measure the diagonals and make any necessary corrections until
you have the same values.
The wall boards are laterally interchangeable. If the cabin has an off-centre door opening, you can fit
the door in the left or in the right half of the front wall. The door will always open to the right.
With an asymmetrical roof, the door must be located under the gable peak in order to ensure that it
opens fully with no problems.
Do not remove the protective film from both sides of the plastic glazing in the door and window until
the entire cabin has been sufficiently treated with a wood protection agent.
When laying the roof boarding, care should be taken to ensure that the roof boards are not pressed
tightly into each other. Subsequent swelling of the wood as a result of moisture is unavoidable.
The roofing felt provided serves primarily as a temporary protection against the weather. TO ensure
lasting protection we recommend you to cover the roof
only
with sanded bitumen shingles. This
creates the basis for a long life and resistance to the influences of the weather. Otherwise damage to
your weka product is to be expected.
If you have decided to cover your house with bitumen tiles, we recommend that they are laid
directly on the roof boards.
Make sure you remove the film on the bitumen strips before laying!
The spiral springs of the wind anchor must be compressed up to 15 mm.
The possibility of differing wood mo tolerances in individual components may lead to variations
in dimensions, particularly in the area of the pediment/side wall height,
which must be adjusted during installation using appropriate means (e.g. electric plane).
The window/door panes must be sealed all round with transparent silicone for windows immediately
after assembly and painting to ensure full resistance to driving rain.
Otherwise extreme rainfall may lead to interior leaks which cause discoloration and damage to the
wood. The manufacturer will accept no liability for such damage, there will be no replacement within
the scope of the guarantee nor is it covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. We therefore refer you
again to our guarantee conditions at this point.
