Weka 533.2020 Instructions De Montage, D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 11

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.
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.
Wood preservation for untreated products
Untreated wood requires wood preservation measures. For professional wood preservation treatment, contact a wood
preservative expert.
Before assembly, we recommend that you treat all untreated wood components with blue stain and then with a wood
protection agent. A regular coating in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions of the wood protection agent is
necessary to protect the wood.
Wood preservation measures are the responsibility of the customer. No guarantee can be given if the wood is not
properly preserved. Please also read the provisions relating to this in our guarantee statements.
Wood preservatives for glazed/coloured products
The supplied weather protection glaze is meant for impregnation of untreated cut edges and for eliminating minor
paint damage that may arise during assembly.
Depending on the location and the weathering of the product, the paint must be renewed periodically.
This must be considered before installation!
Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a sauna 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 height-adjusted, the height and horizontal position of the foundations must be
marked out.
A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly laid, level and square foundation.A prerequisite for assembly is an expertly
laid, level and square foundation. We recommend a raft foundation. A foundation plan can be obtained from your
specialist dealer.
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 and fix the vertical studs from
the extension 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.
This must be considered during installation!
At least three people are required to assemble the log cabin.
All screw connections are to be predrilled,
in order to avoid damaging the wood parts.
The following symbol in the instructions
will remind you to do this:
The intermediate spaces between the floor beams of log cabins guarantee the necessary subfloor ventilation for the
cabin and should therefore not be sealed.
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.
In order to check the right angles, measure the diagonals and make any necessary corrections until you have the
same values.
