Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your purchase. Within these assembly instructions and

accompanying drawings we describe how to assemble your log cabin,

step by step.

You purchased a durable wood product that you will enjoy for years to come.

For best results we bring the following points to your attention.

- The pallet contents should be checked within 14 days of receipt and

prior to assembly.

- Outdoor Life Group Nederland B.V. cannot be held responsible for any

additional costs due to negligent or insufficient check prior to assembly.

- Unpack the wood two days prior to assembly so it can adjust to the areas

humidity level.

- Take off the foil and place the planks and beams apart from each other in

a place where they are not exposed to sun and rain.

- Check against the included packing list to ensure that all parts are present.

- It is important to restack the log cabin parts if assembly is not or cannot

be carried out immediately and to cover it with the foil that served as

protection for the pallet so that they are not exposed to sun and rain.

- Do not store the package in a heated room

In case of home deliveries

The log cabin is delivered on a pallet packed in foil. The delivery address

must be accessible for lorries with a permissible total weight of 38 tonnes.

the manifest and endorsed by the carrier before you sign for the delivery.

Assembly

- Follow the assembly instructions / drawings carefully.

- It is important to have a foundation for the cabin.

You can choose between

• A foundation with ring joists

• Concrete tiles

• A concrete foundation beam or a concrete floor

- The junction between foundation and log cabin can be sealed with silicone.

- Provide sufficient ventilation in your log cabin.

Useful tips

- Ensure that the base on which the log cabin is placed is firm and level.

- Ensure that the foundation and floor joists are placed several centimetres

above ground level.

- Make sure the log cabin is anchored to the base or foundation.

- Remember to insure your log cabin.

- Provide sufficient ventilation in your log cabin.

- Lubricate the lock once a year with graphite powder.

- Use soap to clean the acrylic glass. Never use an abrasive.

- The plastic foil can be used as a damp proof separating layer between

foundation and the log cabin.

- During unpacking of the pallet, you must separate the joists and wall

logs prior to lifting them up in order to prevent damage to the tongue

and groove.

Maintenance

- Prior to the assembly of the log cabin, you have to treat the tongue and

groove of the wall parts as well as the floor and roofing parts with a moi-

sture resistant stain. You can use the same stain for protection of the wood

of the entire log cabin after assembly. Repeating this treatment regularly

will significantly prolong the life of your log cabin.

- Depending on the local conditions, it is best you treat the inside of the log

cabin and the door at least every three years with a moisture resistant

stain that is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. For more information

contact your supplier.

Wood is a natural living product. This means that every piece of wood has a

different structure and pattern. It is quite normal that deviations can appear

in wood; this gives wood its natural charm.

Tolerable deviations:

- Knots grown into the wood

- Knots falling out with a maximum diameter of 4 cm

- Shavings, tree bark on the backside of roof and floor joists, provided that

the visible side can be assembled.

- Discolorations (these do not affect the life span)

- Cracks that do not affect the construction

- Resin pouches

- Warping and twisting, provided it does not affect the assembly

- Finger joints in sidewalls as well as doors and windows.

Guarantee

5 year guarantee, excluding hinges and locks.

Not covered by the guarantee are defects resulting from:

- A faulty foundation

- A foundation that is not level

- Non-observance of the assembly instructions

- Insufficient maintenance and use of a non-moisture resistant paint

- Faulty, not competently laid or insufficient roofing material

- Joining wall logs, window and door frames by screws or nails

- Damage as a result of not competently built up or altered installation

- The absence of and/or faulty attached roof anchoring (this is always part

of the delivery)

- Natural disasters or other forceful influences

- Wind speeds over force 7 on the Beaufort scale.

Note

- Windows and doors are not offered as standard with real glass. If this

does happen, and any glass damage occurs, this cannot be claimed based

on the delivery.

- Your log cabin has to be properly anchored against stormy weather

conditions

- Insurance of your log cabin is, as a rule, not included in a standard house

or household policy. If desired you can insure your cabin against damages

from outside, including vandalism and stormy weather. Contact your

insurance agent about the possibilities.

- Assembly instructions are included for any additional delivered accessories

such as porch, flower box, shutters, and additions.

Important! Possible causes of any occurring problems.

A. Crack forming in the walls:

Wood is alive and adjusts to changing weather conditions. In some areas

this situation occurs to an extreme. In extremely dry weather it can occur

that a crack appears between some of the wall logs. If this situation arises

you have to act as follows:

Step 1: Remove the uppermost part of the doorframe on the inside of the

door in order to check if the beam underneath is still leaning on the door-

frame. If this is the case, follow steps 2 through 5. If this is not the case,

contact Outdoor Life Group Nederland B.V. or your dealer.

Step 2: In order to remove a crack, unscrew the cover of the doorframe on

the inside and remove the door and the frame.

Step 3: Using a saw increase the door opening at the top by ….cm (depen-

ding on the size of the crack, but at most 1 cm).

Step 4: If the crack is still present, softly tap with a hammer on the roof

above the corner joint (use a rubber hammer) until the wall beams are back

in their original positions.

Step 5: Replace door and windows.

B. Roof boards bulging:

Each roof board has to be attached with two nails per joint (side walls and

roof beams). If only one nail is used per joint, the roof board will move

obliquely and upwards.

C. Damage of tongue and groove

It is possible that the tongue and grooves are partially damaged during

transportation. As long as the protection between tongue and groove is

guaranteed during assembly, it does not portray a reason to claim. Slight

damage to the tongue and groove does not affect the stability of your cabin.

ducts on our webpage. (www.outdoorlifeproducts.com)
