When screwing or nailing be careful not to set the fastener too close to the edge,or the end, of a piece of wood. Corners and casings should have 3" between afastener and the end of the piece to prevent splitting. When nailing the cedar channel siding smooth side out to the 2x4 framing, placethe nails so that they penetrate the thicker part of the board, set in at least 3/4"from the overlap and underlap. For Canexel models use the nailing strip.

3 / 4 "

Throughout the instructions reference is made to various lumber dimensions. Please remember that planing at thesawmill has reduced to size of dimensioned lumber such as 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, 1x6 etc. These materials are 1/4" to 1/2"thinner and narrower that stated (ie 2x3 is actually 1 1/2" x 2 1/2", 1x6 is 3/4" x 5 1/2"). In cases where a depth orwidth is given for material that we have machined (trim, door casing, etc.), the measurements are usually as stated.Keep in mind that wood is a natural material and is prone to swelling and shrinkage, therefore the size of some partsmany vary slightly from the dimensions given. This may result in some minor joint variations, but should not be causefor concern.

Squaring a Frame

A) General Instructions and Helpful HintsPlease read the instructions BEFORE beginning assembly

The framing dimensions for stud placement given in these instructions are "on center" measurements. The distancesshown are measured from the end of the plate to the middle of the stud. Studs are 1 1/2" wide when stood on edge,so the edges of the stud are 3/4" on each side of center. When placing studs it is often convenient to mark the studcenter first, and then make a mark 3/4" away on one or both sides of the center mark. Indicate the center mark withan "X" so as not to confuse it with an edge mark.

Marking the Plates

Assembly Instruction Organization

Page 1

The instructions are organized into eleven sections. It is strongly recommended that you assemble your cabana in theorder presented. Our experience has shown that assemblers meet with the most success when all the kit parts areidentified and sorted according to the section prior to assembly. Please refer to the parts checklist on page A.

When marking plates for the walls, both the top and bottom plates can be marked at the same time by laying themside by side. Use a square to transfer the marks from one plate to the other.

To square a frame, measure the diagonals (fromcorner to corner each way) checking that thetwo measurements are the same. If they arenot, push or pull the corners accordingly so thatthe two measurements become the same.

Measurement Ashould equal

Measurement B

Treat the exposed parts of your cabana with a minimum of two coats of a transparent natural or coloured opaque fin-ish. A quality brand name finish is available at the retailer where you purchased your cabana. This treatment isrequired in order to validate your manufacturers warranty.

Recommended Finish

A Word about Pool CabanasIf you intend to use your cabana as a facility to house gas fired pool heating equipment, be sure to consult with your local gasservice person on the placement of your equipment before erecting your cabana. This will ensure that all clearances areadhered to, and that you are able to position the roof trusses so that they don't interfere with the stack on your gas heater.

Notes for Canexel Models

- Canexel models will have only 7 courses of siding per wall- There is no starter piece (ripped at the bottom)- There is no need for a vapour barrier unless you plan to insulate the inside- Make sure to caulk all seams

Cedar Shingle Application1) Use two 1" galvanized nails per shingle, regardless ofthe shingle's width. Nails should be placed 3/4" fromthe edge of the shingle and 1 1/2" from the butt line ofthe following course. Nails should be driven flush butnot so that the nail head crushes the wood.2) The exposure, or distance between the coursesshould be 5 1/2".3) The shingles should be spaced a minimum of 1/4" toa maximum of 3/8" apart. The joints should be at least 1 1/2" away from the any joint in the previous row.Joints in every second row should not be in directalignment.4) A starter course should be laid down overhanging theeave and gable fascia by 3/4". The first course is laid downon top of the starter course. Maintain joint separation of atleast 1 1/2" between the first and starter course. Whennailing a gazebo roof, angle the nails slightly when applyingthe starter course to prevent nail penetration through theroof panel.

5) If you are applying cedar shingles to a cabana gable roofit is recommended that the shingles for the first and startercourses are soaked in water overnight. This will allow theshingles conform to the bend in the roof.

1) Intersecting roof surfaces at the ridge or hips should becapped with site-made or pre-assembled ridge cap. Theridge caps should have alternating overlaps and be thesame length as the shingles. The material used forsite-made ridge caps should be of uniform width -approximately 4" to 5", beveled as shown in the diagram,and held together with two 1 3/4" to 2" nails.

3) The exposure of the ridge cap should be 5 1/2".

2) The ridge caps require 1 3/4" to 2" nails . Again,nails should be placed 3/4" from the edge of theshingle and 1 1/2" from the butt line of the followingcourse. Nails should be driven flush but not so thatthe nail head crushes the wood.

5) Lay down a starter course underneath the first course.Alternate the overlap between the first and starter courses.6) Shingle the ridge by beginning with a first and starter courseat each end. Shingles should project 1" to 1 1/2" over the gablerake. End shingles may be cut back at an angle to preventdrips. Work towards the middle from each end. As the coursesconverge, trim the ends of the shingles so that they don'toverlap the weather exposure of the course opposite. When theremaining exposure is less than 16", finish the ridge by applyinga 5 1/2" section of ridge cap to cover the joint. The ridge capsection should be held in place by 4 exposed nails.

6) Continue the courses up the roof until the weatherexposure at the peak of the roof is less than 5 1/2". Trim theshingles at the ridge and hip line.

1 ) Please refer to the instructions supplied by the shinglemanufacturer. Most manufacturers print completeinstructions on the back of the shingle packaging.

Asphalt Shingles

4) Ice and water shield (supplied with gazebos and hiproof cabanas) should be applied over the hip jointsprior to installing the ridge caps. The shield must beapplied on a dry roof. Ensure that it follows the shinglecontour. (see diagram opposite) If applied in cold con-ditions, it should be held in place with nails or staples.

1) The site you choose for your shed should be well drained and free from puddling.

3) Flip completed frame over and position it on the patio stones or footings. Add cedar shims orblocks between the patio stones and the 2 x 6 runners to level the frame.

2) The site must be properly leveled. It is recommended that any sod be removed prior to levelingand black plastic sheeting or landscaping fabric covered with gravel be put down before assemblyof the floor. This will help keep moisture away from the floor and discourage the growth of grassunder the cabana.

If it is not possible to level the site, or you wish to raise your shed in areas of poor drainage,poured concrete footings may be used.

Final Assembly and Positioning

2) Attach the 2 x 6 P.T. runners on their face to the bottom of the floor, setting them in 6" from theedges. Use two - 3" galvanized nails per joist.

1) Set down patio stones or pour footings positioned as shown in the diagram below. Werecommend that the patio stones or footings be leveled as much as possible to avoid excessiveshimming.

page 5

1) Fasten the 2 full sheets of 48" x 96" plywood, starting from the left side as shown below. Theedges of the plywood will assist you in keeping the floor square. Begin by nailing the 4 corners of the1st sheet, using 1 3/4" nails. Ensure the edge of the plywood stays flush with the outside edges ofthe outer joists and plate, and that it only comes to the middle of the inside joist (allowing room forthe 2nd sheet).
