ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS GARDEN SHED - ModernaDimensions: 0 x 0 (/4 ) IMPORTANT Before beginning the assembly of your garden shed, please read the instructions carefully and follow them closely. By doing so you will avoid unnecessary problems and save time. It is recommended to start the assembly process only once all the components of your shed identified have been identified, analyzed and classified. This notice also contains recommendations related to maintenance of your shed.
What you need to know prior to assembly Characteristics of wood. Wood has a set of specific characteristics that are natural and inherent to it. Those characteristics include colour, density and the extent to which it is affected by humidity. Longitudinal cut, in most cases, will reveal a nice, decorative and often very appreciable look, which is called a texture. It should be added that wood has a specific smell, given by attars, resins and fermented substances, while freshly cut wood has a more pleasant scent. A very important attribute of timber is the ease with which it absorbs humidity. When timber dries, it shrinks. Similarly, when timber absorbs humidity, it increases in volume. Downsides. One of the downsides of timber is that it chaps and warps. When timber dries, the moisture firstly evaporates from the surface and outer layers and only then from the inside layers. Thus, when the outer layers start shrinking, the inside layers, due to stronger moisture, oppose to shrinking. Firstly the surface starts chapping, then the inside layers. When timber dries it can get a longitudinal warp or a cross warp. A longitudinal warp is when the drying straight balk bends, a flat plank twists and gets the form of the propeller. Wood has a set of specific technological characteristics. It easily splits along the fibre nicely holding metal fastenings; it can flex easily and is not very sensitive to depreciation. Screws hold timber extremely well. Screws have a much better grip with timber than nails. Taints: branchy timber, cracks, abnormal structure, infractions made by fungus or parasites. As timber is of biological origin, it is so varied that terms normal timber and abnormal timber are not strictly defined. Within the variety of sawn wood and sawn timber some taints due to fungus may occur: mould, brownness.
Mould funguses generally do not affect physical and mechanical characteristics of timber. When timber is affected by biological (fungus), physical (environmental temperature and humidity) and chemical factors, it decomposes. Timber may last a long time, but fluctuations in humidity and temperature of the environment reduces its longevity. A variety of cracks may emerge, which will then both damage the integrity of timber and will facilitate infection with (and rapid development of) fungus. Generally speaking, the older the wood, the better the durability of its lumber. The most effective way to protect wood from insects and decay is to soak it with substances which are toxic to fungus and insects. Protection. Assembling the shed should be carried out in dry weather conditions. If rain should start during the assembly process, wood should be covered. Once you have erected the shed, finish with a coat of paint or appropriate treatment. Foundation. Before erecting the shed it is important to make a firm and plain foundation, ideally using concrete, concrete slabs or concrete blocs. It is very important to have the foundation corners at right angles and completely level. As long as there remain any spaces in the wall between windows and doors, water can get into the shed.
ATTENTION: You will find boards for hammering the wall-boards in the package. Do not hit the wall board using only the hammer. Please follow the instruction in the picture above or use a rubber hammer.

Firstly build the frame for the double door made from the lower strip of the door (part no. ), the side strip of the door (part no. ) and the top strip of the door (part no. ) with four 5x90 screws, at each corner. After having slide the frame between front wall-boards fit the door into the space created and fasten this frame into side wall boards with eight 0.5x.96 inch screws, 4 at each side. Now, you can position the prefabricated gables (part no. 5, 7, ) in parallel with embedment of top back and top wall-boards (part no. 6 and 0.74). 7
