Consequences of incorrect storage:
Timber is a natural product. Differences in colour, knotholes and minor cracks are normal and do not impair the strength
of the elements.
Extreme weather conditions, such as prolonged hot periods, can cause cracks in the timber caused by shrinkage. These
have however no negative effect on the quality of the product, but are a natural phenomenon. In many cases, these
cracks close again when the whether changes. Shrinkage cracks that are in the direction of the grain of the timber have
no effect on the strength of the material.
Packaging
Do not dispose of the packaging through normal household waste! To protect the environment, separate the paper,
cardboard and plastic packaging and dispose of these materials through recycling.
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.
To be observed prior to installation!
Before erecting the construction, contact the local planning authorities to find out whether you need planning permission
for your carport of patio roof.
Check whether the foundation contains power cables or water pipes and locate them.
Preparation
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!
The required roof pitch of minimum 1% (sloping towards the back of the construction) is produced by adjusting the height
of the post anchors.
Alternatively, shorten the posts accordingly.
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 B25 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.
The damp-proofing material is not included in the scope of supply.
To prevent wind damage, secure the floor joists and the vertical posts to the foundation, using concrete anchors or steel
brackets and heavy-duty screw anchors. The anchoring materials is not included in the scope of delivery.
