Installation manual - English
Foundation
A good foundation is the most important aspect guaranteeing the duration and safety of your pavilion.
Only a completely level and bearing foundation will ensure problem-free installation of the pavilion, its
stability and especially the matching of the doors. With a good foundation, your pavilion will stand for
many years more.
Prepare the foundation so that its upper edge extends from the ground to a height of at least 5 cm. At
the same time make sure that there are sufficient air apertures under the pavilion floor for ventilation.
We recommend the following foundation options:
•
Strip or spot foundation
•
Foundation from concrete or pavement slabs
•
Cast concrete bed
Prepare the foundation so that foundation joists and every nodal point are propped up on every side
with intervals not exceeding 50-60 cm.
Consult an expert in this field or have the foundation prepared by specialists.

3 Garden pavilion assembly
Preparation of components:
Sort the components based on position number to simplify the finding of the right part while installing
the pavilion.
ATTENTION:
Never place the components directly on grass or a muddy surface because it will be very
difficult or even impossible to clean them up later!
Base frame
The base frame of the pavilion must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds
without problems. Place the impregnated foundation joists on the prepared foundation in accordance
with the drawing (see Technical specifications) and screw them together with 6x120 mm screws. Make
sure that the base frame has the same measures as on the drawing. (NB! The base frame can /-
5 mm because of the swelling/ waning of the wood during the transportation. It does not affect the
installation of the pavilion.)
ADVICE
: It is recommended to place between the foundation joists and foundation a damp-proof course
that will protect the pavilion 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!
