HARDWARE PACK & ACCESSORIES:
To ensure longevity of your structure it is
recommended that it is treated with a wood
preservative on a yearly basis.
AFTERCARE
1. The Structure is spaced to allow standard
Grange panels to be inserted, if preferred, to
provide a screen. The distance between each
of the posts is therefore 1830mm (see
Fig.1
).
2. It is advisable to mark each of the Rafters (B),
used as supports, where the roof rafters will
be fixed, before beginning assembly. For the
suggested spacing see
Fig.2
.
3. Decide on the orientation of the structure.
4. Position two of the Posts (A) to enable one of
the Rafters, previously marked, to be fitted.
Ensure the distance between the two Posts is
set at 1830mm before fixing the rafter in
position with screws (
x
).
5. Repeat step 4 for the second pair of Posts.
6. Using one of the remaining Rafters, fix it at
one of the end points on one of the assemblies,
using the ‘U’ Clips (C) as
Fig.3
.
7. Then fix the other end of the Rafter to the
other assembly at the corresponding point.
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 at the opposite end of the
structure so that it is able to stand upright.
Ensure it is level and upright by adjusting posts.
9. When this has been carried out, the remaining
Rafters may be fixed using the ‘U’ Clips at the
positions previously marked.
10.Re-check that the structure is level and upright.
(see
Fig.4
) before fixing the posts permanently.
