Installation Guide

10. Assembling the terrace (optional)
Begin by fastening the foundation joists (T14) in place in the same way as you did with the building itself.
The short foundation joists (T15, if included) should be placed under the parapets at the sides of the
terrace entrance. They also act as a base for the first floor board.
The two half planks (T5) should be assembled on the outermost foundation joists so that the planks extend
past the edge of the beam. This will enable fastening the ends of the terrace boards to the foundation joists
in the same way as the cabin floor. Install the parapet planks according to the drawings, then set the floor
boards (T16, furrowed side up) at an even distance apart (about ½” between each board) on the foundation
beams. Ensure that they are spaced out evenly before nailing. It is normal that the bottom of the floor
board has some wane on it. This is not a defect but a characteristic of the product. Boards will normally
have only one good side. The short floor board belongs between the two parapets, in the entrance to the
terrace. Make sure that the board is firmly on the foundation beams. If threaded rods are included, it is
advisable to screw the first three floor boards next to the cabin so that they can be removed easily to adjust
the nuts of the rods
