The frame of double door is packed as parts, so it needs to be assembled before installing (
). Fasten the side frames to the top frame by nailing from the corners. Make sure that the joints of the frame are
properly fastened without any slits. If there's a wooden part of bottom frame, fasten it at the same way as the top
frame. If there's a sheet metal doorstep, screw it to the bottom end of the side frames. Note! The distance between
side frames must be exactly the same at the top and at the bottom. Assemble the frame from upper side of the
opening at the same way as the single door. Check the cross-measure of the frame and lift the doors onto their
hinges. Fasten the door handles and check that the doors are functioning properly.
Note! It's very important that the house and the door frame are completely straight to allow the door(s) function
properly. The notching of the log under the door is not necessarily fully horizontal because of productive reasons.
Please take this into account when assembling the door frame and if needed add some filling under the frame to set
it precisely straight. Then nail the side frame to the undermost log (note! only to the lowest one), so that the frame
won't rise during use.
Because timber lives with the changes of air moisture, sometimes it's necessary to adjust the door hinges by turning
them inward or outward, depending on the situation. For example if the door seems to be too big compared with
the frame, rotate all the hinges inward. This checking of doors and windows is current often at springs.
Window will be slipped into its place from upper side of the opening at the same way as door. Screw window
handle on its place and check that the window is functioning. Note! Be careful to install the window right. Window
assembled upside down would fall from the hinges, when opened. Some windows will be set the hinges at the top.
Avoid opening such too much, because it might also loosen from the hinges.
When going on setting up the walls, you will note that there will be few centimetres' space above the door and
window (
). Because wood is a living material, it shrinks in dry conditions (log frame goes down) and
expands following the moisture (log frame rises). That's why the allowance for sinking is so essential - it lets walls to
live without damaging the construction. The space will be hidden with cover boards nailed only to the frame of
door/window. Never nail it to the log, because it would prevent the natural movement of the log construction! For
the very same reason frames of door or window are not allowed to be nailed to the log wall from any other place,
but only from the lowest log (the only exception is models having 19 mm wall thickness, please see chapter 9.
Protection against storm).
Please note that the uppermost logs of side walls are bevelled to follow the inclination of the roof. The uppermost
logs are short, lower and bevelled in some models (please see the drawings of wall construction). They will be
screwed or nailed (needing pre-drilling) to the log under them. When the walls are ready, you'll need 2-3 persons
to assemble gable triangles next. Check that the side walls are straight. Sometimes they need to be pushed a little
bit inside to get the gable triangle set. Take care, that gable triangles won't fall down before assembling the ridge
purlin. Ridge purlin will be put to the notches of gable triangles so that the upper edge of the ridge purlin will be at
the same level with the edge of the triangle. Other purlins will be installed at the same way, if the house includes
such (supports for the side of the roof). Please pre-drill and nail the gable triangles to the ridge purlin and the other
purlins (
).
