1.
Set out side panels (A) and one of the back panels (B) as shown in Pic.1. When setting out, please ensure that
the 6no rearmost pre-drilled pilot holes on side panels (A) are nearest the ground. The seat & floor support
battens (pre fitted to side panels), should locate on the uppermost face of the back panel. The bottom edge of
back panel (B) should be aligned with the underside of the floor support batten on side panels (A).
2.
Insert 4no 60mm screws (2no screws per side panel), in pre-drilled pilot holes in side panels (A) and secure back
panel (B) in position (See Pic.2).
3.
Carefully lift the assembly into vertical position. Place front panel (C) between the side panels and locate
between the floor support battens and the seat support battens. Prior to fixing, ensure that the front face of panel
(C) remains flush with the ends of the floor & seat support battens (See Pics.3a & 3b). Insert 4no 60mm screws
(2no screws per side panel), in the front pilot holes in side panels (A) and secure the front panel in position.
4.
Locate floor panel (D) on to the floor support battens (See Pic.4). Please ensure that the floor panel locates fully
to the rear corners. Drill 2no holes (3mm drill bit), to both ends of floor panel (D), and fix to the floor support
battens using 4no 35mm screws ( 2no screws per end - See Pic.4).
5.
Position the hinged seat assembly (E) on to the seat support battens with the larger of the hinged sections
towards the front. Insert 4no 60mm screws in the pre-drill holes in the rear hinged section of the seat assembly
(2no screws per end). Ensuring that the rear edges of seat assembly (E) contact the back panel (B), fix the seat
assembly to the seat support battens (See Pic.5).
6.
Position seat back rest (F) between the side panels. The top of the seat back rest should be positioned parallel
with, and 35mm in, from the rearmost face of side panels. The base of seat back rest should locate on the
smaller, rear portion of the hinged seat assembly. Attach the seat back assembly to the side panels using 2no
60mm screws (1no screw per side - See Pic.6).
7.
Position the remaining back panel (B) between the side panels as shown in Pic.7a & 7b. Insert 4no 60mm screws
(2no screws per side) and fix.
8.
Position trellis back panel (G) between the side panels. Insert 4no 60mm screws in side panel pilot holes and
attach the trellis back panel as shown in Pic.8a & 8b (2no screws per side).
9.
Set out roof panels (J) as shown in Pic.9, so that the panel edges contact along their entire length at the ridge.
NB the roof panels (J) must be orientated so that the cladding boards overlap lower adjoining boards (i.e. like roof
tiles), to assist with rainwater dispersal to the low point of the roof.
10.
Attach fascia boards (H) to roof panels (J) as shown in Pic.10 using 3no 35mm screws per board. Drill 3no holes
in each of the fascia boards (H). All pilot holes should be positioned 16mm in from the straight edge, with a hole
positioned 100mm in from either end, with one hole positioned centrally. The straight edge of the fascia board
should be flush with the underside of the roof panel. The ridge end of the fascia board should be flush with the
roof panel, with the fascia board extending beyond the roof panel (approx 30mm) at the low end.
11.
Position and attach centrally, 2no pointed finials (K) to the fascia board / roof panels using 4no 35mm screws
(2no screws per finial). See Pic.11.
12.
Insert 6no 35mm screws into pre-drilled pilot holes in ridge capping (L) and position centrally over join in roof
assembly and fix. (See Pic.12).
13.
Lift and centralise the roof assembly on to side panels. The roof should overhang the side panels by
approximately 130mm (Horizontal measure from outer face of side panel to end of fascia board). See Pic.13.
14.
Drill 4no pilot holes in the roof panel assembly directly above the side panels, and secure using 4no 60mm
screws. SeePic.14.
Please take a few moments to check all pack contents listed.
Assembly requires 2 persons.
Tools required: Corded/Cordless Drill, Pozi-drive Bit/Screwdriver, 3mm Drill Bit required in order
for you to drill all screw holes before construction.
Hampshire Arbour is now complete.
