Recommendations

• Keep the house package until its complete assembly in a dry place, but not in direct contact with the ground, protected from weather conditions (moisture, the sun, etc.). Do not keep the house package in a heated room!
• When selecting the garden house location, make sure that the house will not be subjected to extreme weather conditions (areas of strong snowfall or winds); otherwise you should attach the house (for instance, with anchors) to the subsoil.
• All timber elements are natural and need to be treated with wood protection products by the customer to resist weather effects.

For assembling you will need the following tools:

• assembly aid
• water-level
• knife
• ladder
• screwdriver
• measuring tape
• hammer
• saw
• pliers
• drill
• protective gloves

Preparation of components

Sort the components based on the wall plans (see Installation manual) and place them at the four sides of the house in the installation sequence.

Attention:

Never place the components directly on grass or a muddy surface because it will be very difficult or even impossible to clean them up later!

Garden house installation

Installing a garden house begins from preparing a perfectly level and square foundation. Pouring a concrete foundation is not essential for that purpose; lightweight construction blocks, concrete slabs or posts are also suitable as a base. They need to be dug partly into the ground and levelled before installing the house in order to prevent the house from sinking.

Every house has installation manual included, describing all the main installation stages and separately displaying the wall elements. You can see some of the installation manual by the product description on Palmako’s home page.

Foundation

Prepare the foundation so that its upper edge extends from the ground to a height of at least 5 cm and the foundation joists are propped up on every side with intervals not exceeding 50-60 cm. At the same time make sure that there are sufficient air apertures under the house floor for ventilation. 

The following foundation options are recommended:

• Screw foundation
• Strip or spot (pile) foundation
• Foundation from concrete or pavement slabs
• Slab foundation (cast concrete bed)

The base frame of the house must be completely flat and level to ensure that the installation proceeds without problems.

Attention:

Different houses can have different foundation placements – see the appended base frame drawing (in Installation Manual)!

Take a look at the assembly videos

Our installation videos are made for illustrative purposes only and show general installation principles of a product group.

During installation you must always follow the product specific installation instructions that come with the product!

Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small cracks, colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors, but a result of wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material. 

Unprocessed wood (except for foundation joists) becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a while, can turn blue and become mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your product, you must immediately process them with a wood preservative or use the product treatment service that Palmako gladly offers.

It is recommended that you cover the floor boards in advance with a colourless wood impregnation agent, especially the bottom sides of the boards, to which you will no longer have access when the house is assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration. 

It is also recommended that you process the doors and windows as well with a wood impregnation agent, and do that namely both inside and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become twisted. 

After the product assembly is completed, a weather protection paint that will protect wood from moisture and UV radiation is recommended for the conclusive finishing.

When painting, use high quality tools and paints, follow the paint application manual and manufacturer’s safety and usage instructions. Never paint a surface in strong sunlight or rainy weather. Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions. 

Having been properly painted, your product’s lifetime will increase substantially. Palmako recommends that you inspect the house thoroughly once every six months.
