To "
VALIDATE
" the guarantee, adequate provision must be
made to ensure ground contact is avoided and air is able to
circulate underneath the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is
acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in
pooled water during wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it
MUST
be erected
on pressure treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar
bearers
(These are not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure
treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.
