Assembly and maintenance instructions
Before assembly
Machined logs and other parts have been packed into protective wrapping. If
the item will not be constructed immediately, it should be kept indoors or
otherwise well-protected until assembly. The package should be kept away from
the ground in order to avoid absorbing moisture and be stored on a level base.
Building instructions include a part list and drawings of the wall
constructions. Please check the contents in full with the help of the part
list and contact your retailer immediately if something is missing or
defective.
Please sort the parts near the planned building area leaving enough space for
working.
- Check contents of the package
- Use the part list at the end to register any missing or damaged parts
- Contact your retailer if necessary.
The timbers are packed in plastic and sealed with plastic rims. Recycle the
plastic, rims and protecting beams underneath, according to local regulations.
Foundation
The most important aspect of the construction is a well-prepared foundation.
It must be flat, completely level and devoid of any movement even after the
assembly work. Take special care of these requirements when building on areas
where the ground retains water. In all cases a concrete raft foundation is
preferred. This spreads the constructions’ load over a wide area and suits all
ground types. Your retailer can advise an alternative foundation method should
a raft not be possible. When using a pier and beam foundation, the spacing of
the columns (posts) shall not be greater than 60 cm. When using construction
blocks, slabs or footings as foundation it should be made sure that the soil
will not move during frozen ground conditions. We recommend placing the
foundation on, for example, a compacted and evened out bed of gravel.
Regardless of type of foundation it should be made sure that the subfloor
construction is well ventilated. The foundation for the optional terrace must
be level with the base for the cabin and be prepared carefully. If needed,
seek advice from an expert or have a professional perform the foundation work.
Fasten the foundation beams to the foundation, for example with angle irons
(not included). Foundation beams are protection treated but it is advisable to
add a roofing felt strip (not included) or another insulator between the
foundation and the beams to stop moisture from the foundation penetrating the
timber. The outermost foundation beams should finish nearer each other than
the log walls. There are two important reasons for this. 1. Rain water won’t
wet the point of contact of the foundation beams and the lowest logs. 2. The
outermost foundation beams offer support for the edge of the floor. In
practise it means that the foundation shall be 5-10mm smaller than the log
frame of the cabin.
If your cabin excludes a floor and you are building the log frame directly
onto brick/blockwork, please add a felt bitumen strip between the undermost
log and brick/block. Additionally the brick/ blockwork should be 5-10mm
smaller than the log frame so that
rainwater falling along the wall swon’ twet the point of contact at the lowest
log.
Door and window
The distance between sides of the door frame must be exactly the same at the
top and the bottom. It is very important that the cabin and the door frame are
completely level to allow the door(s) to function properly. If the doors or
windows do not seem to fit correctly in the opening, check the level of the
foundation and the level of the building. These components will not function
properly if they do not sit level. If necessary pack up the low corner to
correct this fault.
Depending on the model, the accessory bag may contain adjustment plates for
the hinges. If necessary, the position and distance of the door from the side
frame can be adjusted by mounting one or more adjustment plates under the
hinge(s). Some models have hinges that can be adjusted by screwing the hinge
inwards or outwards as needed.
Be careful to install windows the right way up. Windows with hinges on the
side assembled upside down will fall from the hinges when opened. Some windows
are to be assembled with hinges at top. Avoid opening such too much, because
it might also loosen rom the hinges. Lightly tighten the screws on the door
and window fittings and the lock with hand tools.
Roof and floor boards
It is normal that the back side of the roof and floor boards has wane on it.
It is not a defect but a characteristic of the product. Roof boards and floor
boards have the same profile, therefore make sure you are using right boards
for right purpose. The boards will expand and contract depending upon the
amount of moisture in the air, so leave a space of 1-1.5mm between each board.
Roof boards are assembled the flat side downwards and the side with furrows
upwards.
Covering material for roof
Covering material for the roof must be installed immediately. If this is
excluded, temporary protection is required. Only light material are suitable
roof coverings. We rec- ommend shingles, roofing felt or tin roof for gable
roofs. For models with plane roof, we recommend roofing felt or EPDM roofing.
Follow the instructions supplied by the provider.
Protection against storm
Fasten the roof to the building and the cabin to the foundation and take
special care in open areas where there is the possibility of heavy winds and
storms. You will need extra fastening material excluded from the delivery.
Protection treatment
The timber used for the products LILLEVILLA-products has not been treated,
with the exception foundation beams and terrace boards, that has been treated
against blue stain and moulding. Protection treatment of the building must be
performed immediately
after erecting the cabin as soon as the weather is suitable for it. The first
treatment should be done with a with a colorless wood preservative that
prevents the formation of mold and blue stain.
After this, a surface treatment is done either with a transparent stain or
with an opaque target paint. The best result is achieved when the building is
treated twice. The first treatment should be done when the building has been
built and the conditions are favorable. The second treatment is carried out
the following year early in the summer, when the humidity is at its lowest and
the wood is as dry as possible. In this case, possible drying stripes in the
seams of the logs are covered.
As paint can be used transparent glaze or paint. Make sure the glaze/paint you
are about to use is suitable for log surfaces, and does not form a so-called
plastic, non-breathing surface. Ask for more information from your local
paintshop. The wood must be dry when it is treated, and the working conditions
as well.
Also the interior of the building must be treated with wood preservative
preventing the formation of mold and blue stain, the inner corners especially
carefully. Doors and windows must be treated from both sides.
Despite treatment, moisture can get in through corners, knots, splits and
joints of the parts. This can be prohibited with silicon, if needed.
Maintenance
Safe long-term use of the building requires regular checking, possible
reparation of the fastenings and inspecting the condition of the parts. Pay
special attention to the roof construction, its covering material, doors and
windows, foundation fastenings, the protection against storm as well as
surface treatment of any wooden parts. Failure to perform regular maintenance
can cause damage to the building or a safety risk to its user.
Regularly inspect the condition of the protection treatment and re-new it when
necessary. Inspect the bottom rails of the doors, windows and their frames,
end surface of timbers and parts stressed by hard weather- or usage-related
wearing.
Check the functioning of doors and windows, and adjust hinges when necessary.
Check the silicon seals of doors and windows, renewing them when necessary.
It is very important to make sure that underneath the building is well-
ventilated. Also installing ventilation grills (not included) on top of the
walls is recommended to let m gularly. Tools For assembly you will need a
hammer, a drill, a screwdriver with different heads, a spirit level, a tape
measure, a spanner, glue and a saw. It is also good to have someone helping
you with the installation. Check local authorities if a permission for
construction is needed. Please bear in mind, that assembling requires a bit of
experience. If needed, ask for professional assistance. oisture get out from
the building.
Remove snow from the roof regularly.

Safety
Take care of safety and always follow the national safety regulations. Keep
children away from the building site.
Material definitions
Wood is a natural material and therefore, knots, knot groups, cracks, hair
cracks on the knots, resin and twisting are relevant features of the wood.
This means that loosened knots or knot holes on edges, resin, knot cracks, dry
spots and hair cracks that do not
affect the structure, and twisting, if the twisted parts are still usable, are
acceptable.
Planing errors and wane on the back of roof and floor boards are acceptable
without restriction if the boards can be assembled so that the defects do not
appear on the visible side.
The wood is a living material, and despite the technical drying it underwent
before production, it shrinks when it dries during the summer and then it
swells again during the autumn and winter. This can affect some gaps between
the wall boards in the summer. This is completely normal and there is nothing
wrong with the product and thus no reason for a complaint. During the autumn
and winter, the wood swells again when it absorbs moisture from the air, and
then the gaps between the boards disappear. Walls that have been painted with
dark paint dry faster and stronger than lighter walls, and this also affects
gaps between the wall boards. It is important that the wood is protected from
moisture and from direct sunlight during the entire assembly process.
Procedure in case of defects or faults
If you have something to complain, please immediately contact the place of
purchase to make a written claim via the re-seller. If the assemling is begun
or continued, it means that the customer has accepted the parts.
An imperfect claim will not be handled but returned back for fulfilling. The
parts complained must be available for checking made by producer or re-seller.
If the claim is entitled, producer takes care of delivery costs to the re-
seller during moderate period. Producer and re-seller reserve rights to decide
all the arrangements concerning the claim. They may also visit the building
site, if they think it is necessary. Producer or re-seller is not responsible
for any direct or indirect costs or damages due to a defected or missing part.
Producer’s liability limits only to the delivery of new parts to the re-
seller. If the claim proves later to be groundless, customer is responsible to
compensate all the costs caused.

there is one (2). The door is lifted upwards by turning the adjustment screw
clockwise with a hexagonal key AV5 (3). Adjust the hinges so that both of them
are carrying the weight of the
door. Finally, tighten the screw (2) and screw the covering hat in place.
Adjusting sideways
First loosen the fixing screws of the hinge of the door blade with a couple of
turns (4). The door moves to the lock side by turning the adjusting screws (5)
with a hexagonal key AV4 clockwise. It is important to adjust all the screws
so that the hinge will be in correct position. When finished adjusting,
tighten the fixing screws (4) again. The accessories bag contains extra
adjustment plates for extra sideways adjustment needs.
Installation of window frame, type
The frame of the double windows have to be put together at site. The frame
consists of 5 parts. Make sure that you assemble the frame according to the
drawings; the 11 mm chamfer comes to center and the hinges come to the
outside. Check that the center part is facing the right way. Fix the frame
parts together by using glue and 3,5 x 35 mm screws (pre-drill with a 3 mm
drill). Check the cross measurements of the frame and fix the frame boards to
the outside of the frame. Lift the frame in place making sure it cannot fall.
Fix the the frame boards to the inside of the frame. Lift the windows in place
and check that they open and close properly. Notice! You can adjust the
windows by turning the hinges of the windows and/or the frame inwards or
