12. Latch door handle
Position the Latch door handle about half way up the door as shown in diagram. Mark the position of the holes on the door. Remove the latch and draw two lines connecting
opposite corners, drill a 12mm diameter hole where the two lines cross. Put the latch bar in the hole on the back of the latch, then reposition the latch (putting the bar
through the drilled hole) and attach using 4 x 19mm black screws. On the other side of the door fit the inside door handle to the bar and then using 4 x 19mm black screws
attach the handle to the door. On the front of the other door position the latch holder so that it holds the latch horizontal. Once in position attach to the door with 2 x
19mm black screws. With the doors shut, drop the lower tower bolt and mark where it touches the floor. Drill a 12mm hole in the floor for the bolt to fit in.

Important information
Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To
VALIDATE
the guarantee, the building must be properly treated with a recognised
external wood preserver
WITHIN 3 MONTHS
of assembly and
RE-TREATED ANNUALLY
thereafter. The building must also be erected on 50mm x 50mm treated
wooden or similar bearers (These are not supplied with the kit.) Ground contact must be avoided.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose some
of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden
panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or
the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
10. Coverstrips, bargeboards and finials
Fit a Coverstrips into each corner, attach using 3 x 40mm nails per strip. The remaining three are used to cover the panel joins, one on each side and the back, attach using
3 x 40mm nails per strip. Attach bargeboards at the front so that the top edge is flush with the roof line and the two boards meet evenly in the middle secure using
3 x 40mm nails per board. Attach a finial centrally over the join between the two bargeboards using 2 x 40mm nails. Fit the remaining bargeboards and finial to the back
of the building in the same way. Fit the kick strip to the bottom of the door opening using 4 x 40mm nails.

11. Hanging the doors
Fit three hinges to the long rebated edge of each door. Position them 150mm from the ends and one centrally between the other two. Attach the small tab of each hinge
using 2 x 25mm screws. Open the hinges and fit them around the door frame, adjust the door to the correct height and fix the hinges to the door frame using 3 x 25mm
screws per hinge. Attach the tower bolts to the inside of the left door as shown using 4 x 19mm round head screws per bolt.
