Preparation

Planning

• Check local planning regulations before the build. SEMORA garden room design and its footprint fits within Permitted Development rights for outbuildings so Planning Permission is typically not required, however seek clarification with the local planning authority and ensure that the building and its location complies with their planning approval conditions.
• SEMORA garden room constructed under Permitted Development rights should not be used for habitable accommodation.

Foundations

• For this building to be long-lasting, it needs to be built on solid foundations.
• While there are two SEMORA foundation options to choose from, and you may have a preferred one, the final choice should always be based on the site conditions.
• With that in mind, we recommend booking a site-visit from a qualified surveyor to assess the soil or ground conditions you wish to build on and choose a suitable foundation system.

Concrete Slab Foundation

• A concrete base, if laid correctly, provides a consistently even and solid surface, which will keep the garden building stable and correctly aligned.
• If you already have a concrete base in place, intending to lay the base yourself or getting a local trade professional to do it for you, the base should be the same size as the footprint of your SEMORA garden room to allow rainwater to run straight off the building’s roof and into the surrounding garden. A base too large will increase the risk of water ingress as rain will bounce off a concrete rim around the building and onto the timber walls.
• With that in mind, the base generally should be made about 50 mm bigger than the footprint of the garden room. This offers a degree of tolerance to ensure the building is fully supported.
• If using existing concrete slab foundation, we recommend having your foundations assessed by a professional to avoid any disappointment or unexpected costs.
• We also strongly recommend getting tradesman help when laying a concrete base to ensure that garden room is built on solid foundations, which will make it last in the long run.
• While >150 mm concrete slabs, laid over compacted hardcore and sand are typical for a garden room, the depth of the slab should be decided following a site survey where the ground is assessed along with the size and intended use of the building.

Preparation of components

On a flat surface glue and screw staggered timber beams as shown and let them set

Installation

Starting with the edge put BR1 into place and secure with 3 S80 screws. A suitable wall plug (RP) should be used. Secure at the front middle and back.
Using the supplied OSB template OC1, space the next bearer BR1 and secure with 3 screws, repeat the process to the last BR1 bearer. The bearers should be between 2996 mm and 3000 mm total edge to edge across the base.

Concrete base must be at least the size of the laid out bearers. Before proceeding to the next step use spirit level to ensure that secured bearers are level and use packers if any alignment is necessary.

DPM membrane over floor bearers.

Lay the damp proof membrane DPM down over the bearers with a 150 mm overhang on all edges. Staple the membrane across the length of the first bearer and pull it taut over the bearers. Secure with at least 4 staples to each bearer to prevent the membrane folding and creasing.

Area not possible to add window

Lay all sole plates in place using standard plan. Decide where you want your windows and doors. The diagram below shows where windows and doors can be placed. The grey areas show where you cannot have a door or window.

• Doors and windows cannot be directly placed next to each other.

• Window positions are set at this stage.
• Windows can replace panels on any wall except for corner panels.
• Use a piece of OSB OC1 to set sole plate 11 mm from edge

• Starting in the corner fix your first panel.
• The panel W6 sits astride the sole plate. Glue to the sole plate and fix the timber edges ET with S50 screws.
• Ensure the timber edge sits on the sole plate.

Continue to build your walls using FS splines to FS join the panels with glue and screws.

• Check top panel rebates for an obstruction or debris.
• Slot beams into the top of walls and fix with glue and 50 mm screws through top on the SIP panel on both sides. The MRS3S beams slope from the front of the building to the back.
• You will need to use a ladder / platform for this part.
• Check walls are all screwed and glued.
• Check for plumb.
• Ensure all walls are plumb and the apertures for the windows and doors are 600 mm and 1200 mm respectively

• Exercise caution and use the right type of equipment when working at height.
• Work from inside and outside the building for the first run of roof panel.
• Use ladders and platforms to fix each panel and beam in place. Standing on the roof before it has fully cured is not advised.

• Glue and screw.
• Add 4 x 4 timber beams to join panels.
• 50 mm screws top and bottom of panel
• PU glue
• Continue to add panels in a staggered pattern until roof is complete.

• Ensure you are working safely at height, EPDM membrane is heavy and should be handled by 2 adults. Ensure roof is clean and dry by brushing and running a straight edge across surface.
• Position membrane equally on all sides.

Roll the membrane back and roller the water based adhesive to cover the exposed surface, leaving a few inches around the edges for contact adhesive. Stick the first section down and roll back the membrane to apply the adhesive. Work in stages. Roll back the membrane smoothing out any air pockets with a dry roller or soft brush.

Once the application of the water-based bonding adhesive is completed, use the contact adhesive. This will hold the sheet in place securely as the water- based adhesive can take up to few hours to cure and form a strong bond with the membrane. Apply the contact adhesive to both the roof and back of the membrane to the point it is tacky to a finger touch and fold over the membrane to complete the process.

35

• Continue to fix panels ensure the panels are level at base.
• Fix panels adjacent to the windows first. Corner planks are applied last. M6CP1 should be placed on the right of each window to allow for window fitting.

• Press window from the exterior and secure the brackets with screws.
• Take care to ensure window is aligned in the aperture and the frame is pressed against the cladding.
• Once frame have been inserted and fixed check if it is fitted plumb and straight.
• NOTE: The door is connected using the same procedure. An extra person may be required to hold the door in place.

Fold membrane over edges and cut at 45 degrees to make neat corners. Use contact adhesive to stick the edges of the membrane to the roof edge. Contact adhesive should be applied on each surface, allowed to dry tacky before pressing in place.

Grey coverboard is applied with polypins pairs every 400 mm. Use polytop pins in pairs and sealant along full length to apply roof trim. When the roof is longer than the 2.5 m trim a joiner is supplied.

• Guttering is fixed so the water can flow off the roof.
• Brackets should be install with a 10 mm to 0 mm fall.
• Install brackets using S50 screws so water from roof will drip into gutter. Brackets should be 1 cm higher at front of building to allow water to drain.

• All panels are IW600 except for corners.
• Cladding panels for the internal walls are fixed with 30 mm screws countersinking screws allow filler to be applied for painting 8 screws per panel. Corner panels on the sides are thinner than a standard panel.
• Set the panels on the floor and leave a gap at the top which will be on the sides and front.

Fix front window trim with veneer pins (VP).

• Fix front door trim with veneer pins (VP).
• Supplied internal caulk IC can now be used for preparation for decorating.

Care & maintenance

• Maintaining your garden building is equally as important as the original build, and ensures the structure is set to last a long time. SEMORA garden rooms need little maintenance year on year; however, the key is to be proactive, with focus on the areas detailed in this instruction manual.
• Keep your garden room well ventilated is to ensure there is as little build-up of moisture as possible. This is especially important when condensation becomes an issue during winter months, when there is a greater difference between inside and outside temperatures.
• Keep the area around the building clear – a constant airflow prevents moisture from being trapped underneath the building and damage occurring from the damp ground.
• No plants should be touching the garden room. Wall climbing plants, shrubs, and old leaves can quickly degrade and cause localised damp spots.
• Inspect and clear roof and guttering of all debris minimum twice a year.
• Regularly check that the roof materials are in good condition and all parts are correctly in place.
• Regularly check the condition of your product, and perform any repairs required.
• Check the condition of the silicone seals around doors and windows and replace them, if necessary.
• Doors and windows in the garden room will also need to be cleaned and maintained properly. Oil/lubricate hinges occasionally for maximum performance and longevity. To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge and a mild household detergent. Please do not use abrasive pads or solvent based cleaners as this may result in damaged surface or discolouring.
• Never use a jet washer or extension hose to power wash your garden room doors and windows.
• Even with treatment, moisture may enter through corners, knots, crevices and joins between parts. If necessary, apply silicone.

Snow

• If you live in the area that receives snow, it is always recommended to clear your roof of snow as soon as you can and after each snowfall. Layers more than 10 cm thick can be dangerous!
• Accumulation of snow on a flat roof can lead to water ponding, disfiguration of the roof membranes and more serious damage to the structure of the roof.
• Use of a plastic snow shovel to start removing as much excess snow as possible is recommended as metal shovels are more likely to damage the roof membranes.
• Once the excess snow is removed, a stiff broom or rake can be used to clear the surface of the roof, with care not to dig the broom or rake into the roof as this may cause damage.
• Clearing gutters and drains of all snow is important as well as snow will melt and is likely to build up, preventing a path to properly drain water from the roof, which may lead to water pooling and leaks.

Wood treatment

• Our external cladding is pressure treated, so does not require any maintenance. However, if you want to maintain the original look or change the colour, then you can do so with a water-based UV oil or wood stain. Follow the manufacturer’s treatment instructions.

Door adjustment

• Door should open and close smoothly without rubbing or catching. Please ensure frames and hinges are clean and free from debris and dirt build-up. If necessary, hinges and cams can be adjusted to ensure a suitable fit.

Hinges

• Compression Adjustment Screw
  allows installer or user to adjust required compression +/- 1.5 mm. Ensure compression is evenly distributed across all hinges.

• Height Adjustment Screw allows installer or user to adjust required height +8 mm / -0 mm. Ensure that weight of the door is evenly distributed across all hinges.

• Lateral Adjustment Screw allows installer or user to adjust required lateral setting +/- 6 mm. Ensure this adjustment is evenly distributed across all hinges.
