Packaging; Wood Protection; This Must Be Considered Before Installation - Weka Holzbau 651.2929.06.00 Mode D'emploi

Incorrect storage may result in:
Wood is a natural product. Varied colouring, knurls and crack formation are normal and have no influence on
the statics.
Dry cracks may form as a result of extreme weather conditions, especially after long hot periods. These dry
cracks are in no way a defect in quality but are a part of the natural appearance of the wood. Depending on the
weather these cracks may close up again to a minimum. Moreover, these dry cracks, which form longitudinally
in the wood, have no effect on the strength and resilience of the material.

4.2. Packaging

Please do not simply throw away the packaging material. Paper, card and corrugated board as well as
plastic packaging materials should be placed in the correct collection containers.
With a few WEKA products, the transport pallet comprises two floor beams which are required for assembly
of the cabin and two distance timbers which are only packaging material and may be disposed of. In such
cases, there will be a special note on the packaging of the product.

4.3. Wood protection

The product is made from untreated timber. The material must therefore be regularly treated with wood
protection. For effective wood protection treatment, please consult a specialist dealer.
The responsibility for proper wood protection lies with the customer.
If the timber is not properly protected, the warranty shall be voided.
Please observe the relevant clauses in our warranty terms and conditions.
If you wish to have your product installed by a weka installation team, ensure that all wood preservation work is
completed prior to the arrival of the team.

4.4. 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
For correct installation, proper embedding of the H-shaped post anchors in the concrete foundation is
indispensable. The post anchors are available as accessories from weka.
The foundation plan is available from your specialist dealer!
After levelling the ground, measure the foundation (height, width, length) and prepare it for installation.
To facilitate the exact positioning and alignment of the anchors, mark the post positions on a lath and secure the
anchors with screw clamps to the lath.
Then position the anchors in the holes in the foundation, keeping a minimum distance of 2 cm between the
upper edge of the foundation and the upper brace.
Fill the holes with concrete and let the foundation cure for minimum 3 days.
Where timber elements are placed directly on the foundation (e.g. rear walls, equipment rooms, etc.), install a
damping course (e.g. roofing felt) between the foundation and the timber to prevent rising damp.
