Assembly Instructions (General Overview):

Preparation:
- Ensure all parts are present before starting assembly.
- Place small parts on a tray or similar to prevent loss.
- If any parts are missing, do not use the product until replacement parts are fitted.
- Remove all packaging before giving to children or allowing them to play with the product.
Wood Treatment (Step 1): Apply a suitable wood stain or preservative to all wood components as shown in the diagram. This step is critical and must be completed before proceeding with structural assembly.
Base and Wall Assembly (Steps 2-4):
- Assemble the floor panel (WP1008) and attach the first wall panel (WP1003) using 3.5 x 40mm screws (FA4522). Ensure the wall is at a 90° angle to the base.
- Attach subsequent wall panels (WP1004, WP1005) to the base and to each other, maintaining 90° angles. Pay attention to the orientation of the panels, especially those with windows and doors.
- Use the specified screws (3.5 x 40mm, FA4522) for attaching wall panels.
Door and Window Frame Installation (Step 5):
- Install the door batons (MW2116) using 3.5 x 30mm screws (FA4513) to reinforce the door and window areas.
Roof Assembly (Steps 6-9):
- Attach the roof panels (WP1002, WP1009) to the top of the assembled walls.
- Use 3.5 x 40mm screws (FA4522) to secure the roof panels, ensuring they are properly aligned and overlap as indicated.
- Pay attention to the 40mm spacing guidelines for screw placement on the roof panels.
Ridge Cap Installation (Step 10):
- Install the ridge caps (MW2115) and the flexible ridge seal (PM1970) along the peak of the roof using 3.5 x 30mm screws (FA4513). This helps to seal the roof and prevent water ingress.
