- Then suspend the H anchors in the base holes already prepared. A minimum clearance of 2 cm is to be maintained between the upper edge of the foundation and the upper strut.
- The required roof pitch of 1% (gradient towards the rear) can be achieved by varying the height of the stud supports.
- The required gradient can also be achieved by shortening the studs.
- After the holes have been filled with C25/30 concrete, the foundation must be allowed to set for at least 3 days.
Safety information and warnings
In order to prevent accidents, we recommend that children be kept out of
the direct vicinity during assembly. During assembly, children under the age
of 14 should be kept at least 3 m from the assembly site. The current
occupational safety and accident prevention regulations are to be observed.
Information can be obtained from a builder. The roof is only to be accessed on
load-distributing boards. When you are working on a roof, avoid the risk of
falling by complying with the current accident prevention regulations (e.g.
scaffolding requirements, safety rails). Agree the required measures and
operating conditions with a local builder or competent work safety authority.

Assembly
Assembly conditions for a weka assembly team
If you wish for help assembling your cabin and choose to employ a weka
assembly team, weka Holzbau GmbH will carry out the following services for
you: Assembly means putting together (installation) of the individual parts
supplied. It does not include treating them with a wood protection agent, the
delivery and assembly of accessories and accessory parts. Electrical
connections are not included in the assembly service. The items to be
assembled must be located at the installation site/location/base area.
Transport of the article or the individual parts over a distance greater than
10 – 15m or to another level is not included in the assembly price quoted. The
substrate must be stable, horizontal and level. In the event of doubt,
reference should be made to DIN 18202 ‘Level tolerances in building
construction’, tab. 3, row 3, with a maximum height difference at the furthest
points of approx. 10 to 11 mm. All preparatory work must have been carried out
in accordance with the technical regulations before assembly begins. The
substrates/floors/foundations constructed or selected by you must be suitable
for the assembly.
NOTES – ROOF TILES
- Prior to mounting, the roof tiles are to be stored undercover and out of direct sunlight. This applies in particular to white foils. Heat may build up under a stack of tiles leading to distortion and discoloration of the tiles due to the burning glass effect.
- Roof tiles must not be mounted in temperatures below +5°C or above 30°C.
- In order to guarantee the impermeability of your car port, silicon is to be used when laying the roof tiles (not included in the delivery).
- The roof tiles are to be pre-drilled with holes with a diameter = 10 mm.
- Please note that the tiles are to be screwed into place on the front and back purlin on every 2nd wave, on the centre purlins on every 3rd wave.
- Use the spacers (item 17) according to the figure on page 30.
- Please note that the screws are not to be screwed down too tightly in order to guarantee the function of the tiles.
- Note: No false floor may be installed or thermal insulation provided below the roof tiles. There must be adequate ventilation beneath the roof tiles.
TOOL
You should have the following tools to hand before beginning assembly. (Not
supplied.)
The screw connections should be checked and retightened at regular intervals. This product is manufactured primarily from solid wood and as wood is a natural product, prolonged weathering, in particular after long hot periods, may lead to the formation of dry cracks. These dry cracks are in no way a quality defect but a natural occurrence and, depending on the weather conditions, these cracks may close up again to a minimum. In addition, these dry cracks which appear along the grain of the wood have no effect on the stability and durability of the material. In other words, the static properties are unaffected.
Wood protection
The product is made from natural timber, for which regular and adequate wood
preservation measures are obligatory. Please contact a wood preservation
expert for information on professional preservation measures. Wood
preservation is to be carried out by the customer at his own risk. No
guarantee can be given in the event of wood preservation not carried out in
accordance with the instructions. Please also note the provisions relating to
this in our guarantee. We hope you have a successful installation and wish you
many happy hours enjoying your weka product.
