Assembly Information - Weka 1432 Gebrauchsanleitung

5.4. Assembly information

Please follow the safety information contained in point 4.3.
5.4.1. This must be considered before installation!
Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a log cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing electricity
and water connections/cables.
Preparation of the substrate
Once the ground has been successfully levelled, the height and horizontal position of the foundations are to be
marked out (see point 6).
Foundations
A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation. We recommend a continuous
foundation. A foundation plan can be obtained from your specialist dealer. A raft foundation is also possible.
In order to avoid rising damp, we recommend that a barrier layer be laid between the foundation and the floor
beams using the packaging film, roofing paper or similar. Roofing paper for a barrier layer is not included in the
scope of this delivery.
In order to avoid wind damage, anchor the floor beams of the cabin to the foundation. Concrete anchors or steel
angles and heavy-duty dowels available from specialist dealers are suitable for this. The anchors are not included
in the scope of this delivery.
Wood protection
(Cf. also point 5.3). If you arrange to have the assembly carried out by a weka assembly team, the required
applications of the wood protection agent must be completed prior to assembly beginning.
5.4.2. This must be considered during installation!
At least two people are required to assemble the log cabin.
Please drill pilot holes for all screw connections to avoid damaging the wood. The following symbol in the
instructions will indicate when this is necessary:
The pallet on which the cabin is transported comprises two floor beams which are to be used in the assembly of
the cabin.
The intermediate spaces between the floor beams guarantee the necessary subfloor ventilation for the house.
Fit the wall boards together, with the tongue pointing upwards. If necessary, use a rubber mallet. The assembly
timber will prevent any damage to the tongue. The assembly timber can be found in the cabin's front wall pack.
In order to check the right angles, measure the diagonals and make any necessary corrections until you have the
same values.
The wall boards are laterally interchangeable. If the cabin has an off-centre door opening, you can fit the door in
the left or in the right half of the front wall. The door will always open to the right.
With an asymmetrical roof, the door must be located under the gable peak in order to ensure that it opens fully
with no problems.
The gap between the upper edge of the door frame and the wall board is intentional. In contrast to the door frame,
the wall boards undergo a settling process over time which makes this gap necessary as an expansion zone. The
cover battens attached to the door frame (under no circumstances to the wall boards) ensure a clean transition
from door frame to the wall boards.
The roofing felt provided serves primarily as a temporary protection against the weather. TO ensure lasting
protection we recommend you to cover the roof only with sanded bitumen shingles. This creates the basis for a
long life and resistance to the influences of the weather. Otherwise damage to your weka product is to be
expected.
