Installation manual
Roof
Before installing the roof, make sure that the house is completely level. Use the water-level to check
all walls.
ATTENTION
: When placing the roof, use a stable ladder. Do not step on the roof as the structure is
suitable to sustain only an even load (snow, wind, etc.), and not a point load!
Fixate the roof triangle to roof rafter (pos. 166) with 3,5x40 mm screws. Then fixate the roof rafters
(pos. 168) into the roof triangle with 3,5x40 mm screws. Push them as deep as possible. Lift the frame
on the walls so that the notches of the roof rafters will cover the corners of the walls. Fixate the frame
on the walls with 4,5x70 mm screws.
Place the details pos. 164 and 165. Pay attention to distances shown on the drawing. Use 4,5x70 mm
screws and fixate the details from the top to the roof rafter and from the bottom to the upper wall log.
Now place the details pos. 167 and fixate from the top with 4,5x90 mm screws and from the bottom
with 4,5x70 mm screw. Follow the distances shown on the drawing!
Install the connecting pieces according to drawing on the walls between the roof rafters with 4,5x90
mm screws.
For the shorter side use roof boards pos. 070, for the longer side pos. 071. Start placing the roof
boards with the longest board from the bottom. Put the groove side downwards that the bottom side of
the board will meet the ends of the rafters. It is recommended to place the roof boards in turns on the
all sides of the roof. 3-5 roof boards in one turn. Fixate the roof boards on the rafters with 2,5x50 mm
nails.
ATTENTION
: Do not press the roof boards together too densely and you will avoid moisture-causing
bulging! Leave an interval of about 1 mm between the boards to allow for swelling.
After you have installed the roof boards, cover it with roof covering material (not included in house kit).
It is necessary to avoid the bulging of the roof boards due to wetness.
