Safety information
Selecting the substrate
The ground under the cabin should be level, horizontal and built up. If your cabin is located near slopes and
basements, you should consult a local builder.
Otherwise, there may be a risk of collapse.
Built-up ground must be compressed to ensure that the cabin does not sink, otherwise damage may occur. Any turf
must also be removed.
Space requirement
The space required depends on the size of your cabin. The cabin must always be accessible from the outside on all
sides to allow for inspection, ventilation and protection against weathering. The space required should be
approximately 1.0 – 1.5 m larger than your cabin on all sides.
Safety information and warnings
To prevent accidents, it is advisable to keep children out of the direct vicinity during installation.
During assembly, children under the age of 14 should be kept at least 3 m from the assembly site.
The current occupational safety and accident prevention regulations are to be observed. Please consult a specialist
local builder.
The roof is only to be accessed on load-distributing boards.
When you are working on a roof, avoid the risk of falling by complying with the current accident prevention regulations
(e.g. scaffolding requirements, safety rails).
Agree the required measures and operating conditions with a local builder or competent work safety authority. Always
work with helpers!
When unpacking the loose wooden parts and when assembling the cabin, we recommend that you wear safety boots
and work gloves. When using a drill or saw, you should also wear protective goggles.
Unless stated to the contrary in the product information or static calculations, the roof is to be cleared of snow loads
larger or equivalent to 0.75 kN / m² or approximately 30 cm in depth.
