Tiger TIGERFLEX General Assembly Instructions

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY • Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed. • When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied). • Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean, dry area for assembly. TIMBER As with all natural materials, timber can be affected during various weather conditions. For the duration of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood panels may occur. Warping, cupping or contraction of the wood may also occur during excessive dry spells due to an interior moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot be avoided but can be mitigated. It is suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during extended periods of warm sunshine and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow. To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL that your building is treated with a suitable wood preserver or paint AFTER assembly, both internally and externally. BUILDING A BASE Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a suitable base. When thinking about where the building and base is going to be constructed: Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual treatment. Ensure the base is level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to diagrams for the base dimensions which can be found on the product page at tigersheds.com, it is recommended that the base should be slightly smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the base, creating a run off for water. It is also recommended that the floor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding. TYPES OF BASE • Durable plastic grid. • Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand. • Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core. • Timber Base - Self constructed/Buy pre-made. *We recommend a Fastfit EcoBase for your building. It is durable, lightweight, flexible and easy to put in place. Please see tigersheds.com for details.
