Installation Guide

Screw the parapets of the terrace to the floor using the angle irons (T13). Then finish the parapets by
fastening the balustrades (T9, T10) to them and assemble the U-profiles (T11) to both sides of the entrance.
Fasten the facing plank (T18, if included) in front of the foundation timber. Finally fasten the parapets to
the building with four T12 boards.
11. Finishing of the building
11.1. Window grids (crosses)
If the window crosses of your model are unfastened, please nail or screw them to the door/window. Pre-
drill small holes about ½” from the end of the cross and fasten them carefully (drawing 18). Note that about
3/8” of the glass reaches into the door/window frame.
Most models have pre-assembled crosses fastened with plastic cleats. These crosses can be unfastened for
washing the window
11.2. Parts for keeping the window open
Some models include parts for keeping the window open. The installation instruction is in the bag of
accessories.
12. Protection treatment
Stain and/or paint your cabin within a week after set up. It is very important to apply two coats of stain to
prevent mold and bluestain. Also apply thick coat in the ends of the planks since they are prone to absorb
moisture. Please follow the instructions from the stain manufacturer. Treating will work best in
temperatures 50º F and up. Doors and windows must be treated from both sides. Also inside of the cabin
needs to be treated with protection against blue stain and mold (especially the corners). Treatments both
inside and outside must be renewed regularly following instructions by the stain manufacturer. Walls
exposed to the south should receive an additional coat for extra protection against ultraviolet rays.
