This document provides an assembly guide for the Cornelia-40 ISO type house, a wooden garden building or shed. The manual includes detailed technical drawings, a list of components, and step-by-step instructions for construction.

Function Description

The Cornelia-40 ISO is designed as a versatile wooden structure, likely intended for use as a garden shed, summer house, or small cabin. Its design, featuring multiple windows and a double door, suggests it can serve as a functional and aesthetically pleasing addition to a garden or outdoor space, offering shelter, storage, or a recreational area. The "ISO" in its name might indicate some level of insulation or adherence to specific standards, though further details on this are not provided in the technical drawings.

Usage Features

The Cornelia-40 ISO is designed for self-assembly, indicated by the "Assembly guide" title and the detailed step-by-step instructions.

Modular Construction: The use of interlocking log boards simplifies the wall assembly process.
Pre-cut Components: All timber components appear to be pre-cut to specific lengths and angles, minimizing the need for on-site cutting.
Clear Labeling: Components are numbered and categorized, aiding in identification during assembly.
Comprehensive Hardware: The kit includes all necessary screws, nails, and specialized hardware for doors and windows.
Foundation Flexibility: The manual suggests using masonry units (500-600 mm long) for the plinths, which are not included in the kit, offering flexibility in foundation choice and potentially reducing the number of support points needed.

Assembly Sequence (from page 16-26):

Assemble floor base frame: Construct the foundational frame.
Secure first level of wall boards to base frame with screws: Establish the initial perimeter of the walls.
Install the floor boards: Lay down the flooring.
Build walls up as shown, assemble door frames and drop into place: Construct the walls, integrating the door frames.
Build walls up as shown, drop window into place: Continue wall construction, integrating window frames.
Build walls up as shown: Complete the main wall structure.
Install floor trim: Add finishing trim around the floor.
Install roof beams: Erect the roof support structure.
Install roof boards: Cover the roof beams with roof boards.
Install eave and gable boards: Add decorative and protective boards to the roof edges.
Hang the door and windows: Install the actual door and window sashes into their frames.

Maintenance Features

While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance, the nature of a wooden building implies standard care:

Moisture Protection: The instruction to "Place cardboard between the concrete and wood to protect from moisture" for the foundation highlights the importance of moisture management to prevent rot and extend the lifespan of the structure. This suggests that regular inspection for moisture ingress and proper ventilation would be crucial.
Wood Treatment: As a wooden structure, it would likely require periodic treatment with wood preservatives, stains, or paints to protect against weathering, UV radiation, and biological degradation (fungi, insects).
Hardware Inspection: Regular checks of door and window hardware (hinges, locks, handles) would ensure smooth operation and security.
Roof Integrity: Inspection of roof boards and eave/gable boards for damage or leaks would be important to maintain the building's watertightness.

Important Note for Installation:

The manual explicitly states: "If any problems occur during the installation of the house, please do not build further. Immediately inform the reseller about the problems with pictures." This emphasizes the importance of stopping work and seeking professional advice if issues arise, to prevent further complications or damage.
