Installation manual - English
Storm braces
The storm braces (pos. 140) must
be attached in the corners of the
pavilions on the both sides of the
wall. Fix the storm braces with
6x110 bolts, shims and nuts.
The top of the storm brace (with the
round hole) has to be on the same
level with the top log of the wall. It is
important to drill the Ø 6 mm holes
through in advance.
Place the storm
braces on the both sides of the wall.
Drill holes through also from the
middle of the oval gaps of the storm
braces. Fix the slats with bolts.
ADVICE
: Do not turn the bolts tightly so wood can further swell or diminish.
With the pavilion having settled, you should adjust the attachments so the wall logs can settle.
General advice:
Problem:
Gaps appear between the wall logs
Cause:
Additional details are attached to the pavilion that do not allow wood to
swell/diminish.
Solutions:
If the door/window is attached to the wall logs with screws/nails, remove these screws/nails;
If the storm brace is screwed on too tightly, loosen its attachment;
If (rain water) pipes are installed on the wall, loosen their attachments;
Problem:
The doors and windows become stuck.
Cause:
The pavilion/foundation has settled.
Solution:
Check whether the pavilion is level. Level the foundation joists and walls.
Cause:
The doors and windows have swelled due to moisture.
Solution:
Adjust the door and window hinges; if necessary, plane the door or window narrower.
We wish you total success with the pavilion installation and much joy
with this pavilion for many years to come!
