Installation manual
Base frame
(Foundation joists)
The base frame of the house must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds
without problems.
ATTENTION: different house can have different foundation placements – see the appended
base frame drawing (in Technical specifications)!
Place the impregnated foundation joists on the prepared foundation in accordance with the drawing at
equal intervals. Make sure that the joists are level and rectangular prior to screwing them together.
ADVICE : It is recommended to place between the foundation joists and foundation a damp-proof
course that will protect the house from moisture and decay.
ADVICE : To ensure protection from wind and storm, it is recommended to attach the foundation joists
to the foundation (for this, you can use for instance metal angles, anchors, etc.). The corresponding
materials are not included in the supplied kit!
Installation of foundation joists:
Walls
When installing the walls, it is important to remember that:
¾ The logs are always assembled with their tongue upwards!
¾ If necessary, use the hitting block and hammer! Never directly hit the tongue with the hammer!
Install the walls in accordance with the appended wall plans (see Technical specifications).
First of all place half logs of front and back wall at the
correct location and attach them with screws to the
foundation joists. Then install the side wall logs. Make sure
that the first layer of logs extends a bit over the foundation
joists: the logs must extend over the joists by some 3-5 mm.
You will thus protect the house from moisture, allowing the
free flow of rainwater into the ground.
ATTENTION :
After the first layer of logs, measure the
diagonal lengths and, if necessary, re-install the logs. Only if
the diagonal lengths are completely equal is the base frame
rectangular and you can mutually attach the logs.
The first layer of logs:
Continue the installation of the walls by strongly forcing the wall logs into one another. If necessary,
use the hitting block and hammer. At the same time, do not forget to begin the installation of the door
and windows. You should definitely begin the door installation after the 5
th
-6
th
layer of logs.
