HEALTH & SAFETY
We strongly recommend that PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) is
used throughout your build to ensure
you are protected from any potential
health and safety risks.
Do not
exempt yourself from wearing PPE.
BEFORE YOU START
Please read through these instructions to familiarise yourself with your garden bar. We
recommend that you
check all the components
using the lists found on the front and back pages
before you start to build.
It is vital that you build your new garden bar on a solid, level base. Timber or plastic bases are
ideal, as are concrete slabs or solid concrete.
We recommend using the following tools (not supplied):
If you have an existing base and think it is suitable for your new garden bar to be sited on, it is
important that you check it is level and doesn’t deviate by any more than 15mm from edge to
edge. If this is not the case, the building will twist causing gaps to appear in the sections and
causing the roof, doors and windows to misalign.
There is more information on base preparation on our website
www.forestgarden.co.uk
Assembly is relatively straightforward if you follow these step-by-step instructions.
We recommend aligning components properly before securing them together and
pre-drilling
screw holes to avoid splitting the timber.
