Preparation of Base
Adult Assembly Only - Do not attempt to modify this Playhouse
We recommend that the base onto which your building will stand should be at least 75mm larger in each
direction than the total floor size of the building.
Actual floor area of the building:
2400 x 1668mm
Total height clearance:
2350mm
The chosen position in your garden for the siting of the building should be excavated to a depth of 75mm to
allow a base of sand, on to which paving slabs can be evenly laid -
THEY MUST BE LEVEL AND FIRM.
Treatment/Care
of your Garden
Building
Treat with a suitable decorative
wood finish immediately. We
recommend that all timber
pieces be treated again prior to
assembly and again within 3
months of assembly. We
further recommend that all
pieces are treated again at
least annually or as frequently
as the instructions on the
product used recommends.
We would suggest that all wall
panels be treated in an upside-
down position to allow the
finish/treatment to ingress into
the tongue and groove jointing.
We would also remind you that
you would rarely (if ever) be
able to re-treat the underside
of the floor following assembly.
We strongly recommend that
the underside of the floor is
treated an absolute minimum
of twice (not including pre-
treatment). Use only child safe
wood preservative and allow to
dry thoroughly before further
use. Do not use creosote.
