Lugarde
summerhouses and log cabins Technical data .
General
First class Northern European pine is the foundation of all LUGARDE
summer houses. In these countries governmental authorities exercise stringent
supervision to ensure that more trees are planted than are cut down, so that the ecological balance
perfectly is maintained. Lugarde guarantee that we will choose only the highest
quality materials and accessories, in the manufacture of our buildings. The assembling of
a LUGARDE construction kit does not require more than an average technical and do-it-yourself
skills, so ever you can assemble his summer house from the floor up to the roof. As a matter
of course all
houses are provided with assembly instructions. At an additional charge
however you can leave the assembly work to us. Please contact us
for a quote.

Building
permission
Depending on the local authorities and size of building you may need
planning consent if you intend to build a summer house in your garden. Your local council
will give you any information you need. We can supply building
drawings, of all LUGARDE summer houses and models free of charge.

Preparation
A solid foundation is necessary for the installation of your summer
house. Depending on soil type it has to be removed to a depth of approx. 15 cm. Next fill in with
yellow sand, compact or vibrate and than lay concrete slabs or put down concrete. Make sure
that the top of the floor is always above ground level and that it is absolutely level. This
will prevent you from unnecessary problems. It is advisable to apply a layer of gravel around
your summer house to prevent water from splashing up. If you require
further details, please contact us and we will gladly offer our advice.

Walls
All summer houses in the Prima and Fifth Avenue series consist of a
unique 3=1 system,
developed by LUGARDE, where the moulded wall elements slide perfectly
into the
corresponding corner posts. The corner posts are reinforced with an
invisible aluminium strip,
a system which improves the durability of the summer house under all
weather conditions.
The assembling system is simple and durable, and all wall elements are
erected without nails
or screws. The thickness of the wall elements is 28 mm. for summer
houses up to ø 300 cm.
and 44 mm. for the models from ø 350 cm. For houses with a wall
thickness of 28 mm. the
wall elements are placed on pressure-impregnated foundation beams of
44x70 mm.
Buildings with a wall thickness of 44 mm. are placed on foundation beams
of 70x70 mm.

Roof
For summer houses in the octagonal range until ø 300 cm. the roof is
made up of
8 ready-to-use elements, both for thatched roofs and for shingle roofs.
In all summer
houses from 350 cm. across, the roof comes as a do-it-yourself
construction kit and
includes rafters, roof elements, shingles and decorative moulding (if
applicable).
The roof covering is made of 19 mm. thick pine wood boards, which are
completely prepared.
In models from 350 cm. across thatching has to be done by local
professional thatchers.

Windows
and doors
You can combine or enlarge the doors and windows as you please, as long
as the dimensions correspond to the garden house (i.e. will fit the wall size)
of your choice. On the basis of the price list you can calculate the price differences.
Should you choose
a size which differs from the standard dimensions there will be an
additional modification cost for each alteration. All buildings with 44 mm. wall elements can be delivered with double
glazed (16 mm.) windows and doors. The relevant types are window PE44 and door PE45.
All single doors are supplied with standard opening left sided (as seen
from the outside). If you want the door opening on the right, please order it that way. In
case of double doors, the right door will open first. During construction the doors and
windows are slipped over the wall elements from the top, together with the frames, creating a
very stable structure.

Guarantee
LUGARDE guarantees all its summer houses and log cabins for 5 years on
manufacturing or construction defects. Such guarantees however only apply for those
products which have been installed and which are treated according to the instructions
and directions of the manufacturer. Wood is a unique, natural product and the finish on boards will
therefore vary. Variation will therefore be seen as coarse of fine grains and shades of
colour. Such properties are normal in wood and cannot be considered as a defect.
They have to be accepted as an unavoidable property of the product. All summer houses or log cabins which are constructed from wood will
shrink or swell according to weather conditions, and along with warping are natural
properties of wood.
