Throughout the instructions reference is made to various lumber dimensions. Please remember that planing at thesawmill has reduced to size of dimensioned lumber such as 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, 1x6 etc. These materials are 1/4" to 1/2"thinner and narrower that stated (ie 2x3 is actually 1 1/2" x 2 1/2", 1x6 is 3/4" x 5 1/2"). In cases where a depth orwidth is given for material that we have machined (trim, door casing, etc.), the measurements are usually as stated.Keep in mind that wood is a natural material and is prone to swelling and shrinkage, therefore the size of some partsmany vary slightly from the dimensions given. This may result in some minor joint variations, but should not be causefor concern.

Squaring a Frame

A) General Instructions and Helpful HintsPlease read the instructions BEFORE beginning assembly

The framing dimensions for stud placement given in these instructions are "on center" measurements. The distancesshown are measured from the end of the plate to the middle of the stud. Studs are 1 1/2" wide when stood on edge,so the edges of the stud are 3/4" on each side of center. When placing studs it is often convenient to mark the studcenter first, and then make a mark 3/4" away on one or both sides of the center mark. Indicate the center mark withan "X" so as not to confuse it with an edge mark.

Marking the Plates

Assembly Instruction Organization

Page 1

The instructions are organized into eleven sections. It is strongly recommended that you assemble your cabana in theorder presented. Our experience has shown that assemblers meet with the most success when all the kit parts areidentified and sorted according to the section prior to assembly. Please refer to the parts checklist on page A.

When marking plates for the walls, both the top and bottom plates can be marked at the same time by laying themside by side. Use a square to transfer the marks from one plate to the other.

rev. 04/06/99

To square a frame, measure the diagonals (fromcorner to corner each way) checking that thetwo measurements are the same. If they arenot, push or pull the corners accordingly so thatthe two measurements become the same.

Measurement Ashould equal

Measurement B

Treat the exposed parts of your cabana with a minimum of two coats of a transparent natural or coloured opaque fin-ish. A quality brand name finish is available at the retailer where you purchased your cabana. This treatment isrequired in order to validate your manufacturers warranty.

Recommended Finish

A Word about Pool CabanasIf you intend to use your cabana as a facility to house gas fired pool heating equipment, be sure to consult with your local gasservice person on the placement of your equipment before erecting your cabana. This will ensure that all clearances areadhered to, and that you are able to position the roof trusses so that they don't interfere with the stack on your gas heater.

Cedar Shingle Application1) Use two 1" galvanized nails per shingle, regardless ofthe shingle's width. Nails should be placed 3/4" fromthe edge of the shingle and 1 1/2" from the butt line ofthe following course. Nails should be driven flush butnot so that the nail head crushes the wood.2) The exposure, or distance between the coursesshould be 5 1/2".3) The shingles should be spaced a minimum of 1/4" toa maximum of 3/8" apart. The joints should be at least 1 1/2" away from the any joint in the previous row.Joints in every second row should not be in directalignment.4) A starter course should be laid down overhanging theeave and gable fascia by 3/4". The first course is laid downon top of the starter course. Maintain joint separation of atleast 1 1/2" between the first and starter course. Whennailing a gazebo roof, angle the nails slightly when applyingthe starter course to prevent nail penetration through theroof panel.

5) If you are applying cedar shingles to a cabana gable roofit is recommended that the shingles for the first and startercourses are soaked in water overnight. This will allow theshingles conform to the bend in the roof.

1) Intersecting roof surfaces at the ridge or hips should becapped with site-made or pre-assembled ridge cap. Theridge caps should have alternating overlaps and be thesame length as the shingles. The material used forsite-made ridge caps should be of uniform width -approximately 4" to 5", beveled as shown in the diagram,and held together with two 1 3/4" to 2" nails.

3) The exposure of the ridge cap should be 5 1/2".

2) The ridge caps require 1 3/4" to 2" nails . Again,nails should be placed 3/4" from the edge of theshingle and 1 1/2" from the butt line of the followingcourse. Nails should be driven flush but not so thatthe nail head crushes the wood.

5) Lay down a starter course underneath the first course.Alternate the overlap between the first and starter courses.

6) Shingle the ridge by beginning with a first and starter courseat each end. Shingles should project 1" to 1 1/2" over the gablerake. End shingles may be cut back at an angle to preventdrips. Work towards the middle from each end. As the coursesconverge, trim the ends of the shingles so that they don'toverlap the weather exposure of the course opposite. When theremaining exposure is less than 16", finish the ridge by applyinga 5 1/2" section of ridge cap to cover the joint. The ridge capsection should be held in place by 4 exposed nails.

6) Continue the courses up the roof until the weatherexposure at the peak of the roof is less than 5 1/2". Trim theshingles at the ridge and hip line.

4) Ice and water shield (supplied with gazebos and hiproof cabanas) should be applied over the hip jointsprior to installing the ridge caps. The shield must beapplied on a dry roof. Ensure that it follows the shinglecontour. (see diagram opposite) If applied in cold con-ditions, it should be held in place with nails or staples.

1) The site you choose for your Garden Decor Shed should be well drained and free frompuddling.

3) Flip completed frame over and position it on the patio stones or footings. Add cedar shims orblocks between the patio stones and the 2 x 6 runners to level the frame.

2) The site must be properly leveled. It is recommended that any sod be removed prior to levelingand black plastic sheeting or landscaping fabric covered with gravel be put down before assemblyof the floor. This will help keep moisture away from the floor and discourage the growth of grassunder the cabana.

If it is not possible to level the site, or you wish to raise your shed in areas of poor drainage,poured concrete footings may be used.

Final Assembly and Positioning

2) Attach the 2 x 6 P.T. runners on their face to the bottom of the floor, setting them in 6" from theedges. Use two - 3" galvanized nails per joist.

1) Set down patio stones or pour footings positioned as shown in the diagram below. Werecommend that the patio stones or footings be leveled as much as possible to avoid excessiveshimming.

page 5

1) Fasten the 2 full sheets of 48" x 96" plywood, starting from the left side as shown below. Theedges of the plywood will assist you in keeping the floor square. Begin by nailing the 4 corners of the1st sheet, using 1 3/4" nails. Ensure the edge of the plywood stays flush with the outside edges ofthe outer joists and plate, and that it only comes to the middle of the inside joist (allowing room forthe 2nd sheet). Position the second sheet next to the first. Mark the sheet along the outer edge ofthe plate and cut. Nail both sheets every 8" along all plates and joists.

8) 5-Sided Roof

Kenex Manufacturing Ltd

The following instructions provide methods to install all of our Cabana 5 sided Roofs. Roofs may vary in sizes and material, but the construction procedure remains the same.

The following pages contain explicit instructions on how to assemble your 5-Sided Cabana. Extensive diagrams and complete explanations are offered to make it simple for those who have little or no experience with a project of this nature.

Assembly Instructions

Begin by organizing your roof parts in to categories, separate hip (there will always be 3), common and jack rafters in to separate piles. You’ll also have one 8 sided hub, and your top plates. A helpful hint when building smaller 5 sided roofs, is to start assembly of your roof on the floor, then set it aside when your walls are erected and your roof can be placed on top. Doing it this way can make for a heavy lift, but if you manage to bribe the neighbours into helping, its an easier way to assemble it. *Note* These instructions can be used for any sized unit, although the material and rafter count may differ. E.g.: Larger units consist of more jack rafters. Note the back wall plates are in 2 pieces each.

1.Lay your double top plates out using this diagram. Pay special attention to the order of the double top plates. Its easy to mix them up, so take your time and lay them out properly. The double plates plates will sit on top of your walls, they can be secured to your walls using 3” screws or nails approx. every 10”-12”

The next step will show you how to mark the locations of your common and hip rafters. It may be easier to mark your double top plates on the ground.It should be noted before assembling your roof, that rafters may not seem to fit properly, it will take some adjusting and maneuvering of walls, rafters etc. for the roof to achieve an accurate fit. Be aware there will be slight variances when assembling the structure.


2.Clearly mark your plates andrememberthat there will be 3/4” on either side of the center mark. An1 ½” total, to accommodateyour rafters.

3.Begin by assembling your 3 hip rafters first.Use 3-4 3” screws to secure them to the 3 corners, and another 3-4 screws to secure into your hub. It may be easier to assemble left & right hips to hub 1st, then lift into place and secure back hip rafter to form a tripod.

4.The cuts at the end of your rafters are referred to as the “birds mouth” When placing all your rafters be sure that the birds mouth is snug with your top plates. And use three 3” screws to secure your rafters into the plates. It will take some muscle to hold and screw them tight into place.

5.Install your 4th

rafter, the front rafter the same way as your hips. Your ready to install your common rafters. If they don’t seem to fit properly, you may have to push or pull down on the hub (peak) or may even have to push or pull the walls, these roofs can be tricky and it will take some patience to achieve a good fit.

CommonRafters (4)

(1)Front Rafter


6.Depending on the size of your roof, between 6-18 (1-3 sets) jacks are required. Jack rafters are secured into hip rafters, there will be1-left & 1-right. Jack rafters can be maneuveredslightly, their position can be altered to accommodateroof boards. Use 3” screws to secure.

Jack Rafters(6) Per SetLeft & Right

Note.When you receive your plans, you will notice that the Osb roofing boards we show come in full 4’ x 8’ sheets. The reason for this is because when roofs are assembled there is always a slight variance. Each roof has to be custom fitted with the Osb board we have given you. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we must do it this way to assure a proper fitting and supporting roof structure. Ideally you want the rough side of the Osb facing up, this will supply grip for applying the shingles. There are 2 ways to go about this. (see next page for details, diagram 8 and 9)


7.Set back ½” or approx. a “finger width”. This will eventually be cover with your shingles, so the distance is flexible, but that gap should not be too large. Rafter

Top Plate

Osb Roof Board

Approx. 1/2 "

8.1. Take a full sheet, and tack it into place using 2” nails. Typically you want all vertical seams to center on your rafters. Cover as much roof as possible with one piece, the less cuts to make the better. Remember that Osb roof boards should not come down flush with the rafters ends, they should sit back appox. a “finger width” from the end. Figure 7 on previous page. Once your board is in place and you feel confident to use a saw on the roof, use a chalk line to mark the Osb up the hip rafter.Using a circular saw. Cut along the chalk line. Don’t throw away your cut off, it can be used somewhere else. See figure 8a.

2. The alternative is to use your tape measure to obtain the measurements to mark and cut. Measure A, remember your measurements are always to the middle of the rafter. Make a mark on your roof board for A. Now measure B, mark your roof board where B is. Use a straight edge or a chalk line to mark a cutting line between A & B. The result will be C, this is the line to run your saw along. The piece can now be lifted into place and tacked into place using 2” nails. See figure 8b.

Assembly Instructions - start with the small panels at the bottom.

9.Rememberthat off cuts can be used elsewhere on the roof, usually on the opposite side from where the off cut came. Its also a good idea to stagger your seams as much as possible, the diagram gives a general idea of staggeringseams. This strengthensthe overall integrity of the roof.


The roof will be tricky, but doing like this will achieve the best fit possible. Secure your roof boards into place using 1 1/2” nails approx. every 8”. That’s it, your roof is framed and sheeted, now it’s time to move onto your trim!


9. 5 Sided Roof Trim Assembly

The following instructions provide methods to install all of our Cabana Hip Roof trim. Trim may vary in sizes and material, but the construction procedure remains the same.

The following pages contain explicit instructions on how to assemble your 5-Sided Cabana. Extensive diagrams and complete explanations are offered to make it simple for those who have little or no experience with a project of this nature.


Trim Assembly

Begin by organizing all your trim parts. Separate them by their length and width. It should be noted that most of the trim should be cut long, you will need to make some cuts yourself, using a handsaw and/or a circular saw. These measures are taken to ensure the cedar is top quality, and if any minimal cracking that has occurred it can be cut off.

1.Typically we start with the soffits. Soffits are the cedar trim that are attached to the underside of the rafter ends. On smaller units, the soffits will all be the length of the building. However, on our larger units the soffits will be cut into two or more pieces. They should always meet centered on a rafter. Standard overhang roof’s will consist of one course, and extra overhang roof’s will have two courses. Take a piece of trim that has a 45 degree angle on one end, center the cut on the hip rafter (corner) while the piece is held in position, mark the opposite end to the center of the closest rafter. Make a straight cut across, use two 2” nails to fasten into position.

2.The short side walls trim is cutstraight.The front wall trim is cut at 22.5*A small corner will have to be cut off. Nail it into place and hand saw it following the side wall soffitsstraightacross.

These corners can be tricky, you will have to cut off a small corner to accomodate joiningtrim.

3.It should be noted that when your soffits are complete, they should comepast the end of your rafters.

4a.Fascia is the cedar trim that runs vertically around the structure. It is used to cover your rafter ends. The top of the fascia should come up level where the angle on the rafter ends.Use arrow as a gauge.

4b.All the trim is secured using 1 1/2” nails. Take your time when nailing your fascia into the soffits, be careful your nails are directly into the soffits.Fascia will also be cut long to avoid cracked ends. Fascia on the front and the back of your structure will come past your side fascia. On larger units your fascia will also come in more than one piece. Just be sure to push joints tight to one another. To cut your fascia to the right size, either hold it up to its position, mark, and the cut it on the ground.Another possibility is to nail your fascia into the soffits and then cut while its in place.

Its not until you have assembled your soffits and fascia that you can begin shingling. Window trim is already assembled with your windows, certain windows may require additional trimming, but generally is limited to one piece and is self explanatory. See the included documents on how to install the door you have purchased.

Notes:

- Door and window trim separate.

- Shingles are now ready forinstallation, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions because installation procedures may vary.

Notes:

Deluxe and French Door Appendix1) Cut out the bottom plate where it crosses the door opening. Use a handsaw and cut the plateflush with the door studs. The rough opening should now be 36 1/2" x 73 1/2".

2) Decide which way you want your door to operate. It may be hinged on either side and mayswing in or out (consider the intended use of your shed and possible space constraints). Laythe door on the floor of the shed and arrange the horizontal door jamb, the vertical door jambsand the threshold around it. See Door Layout Detail.

Hinge Detail 2

door

3) Place one hinge 8" from the bottom of the door, and the other hinge 8" from the top of thedoor. Ensure that the top of the hinge-pins point to the top of the door and that the front edgesof the hinge plates are flush with the face of the door. See Hinge Detail 1 and 2. Attach thehinges to the door using the 1 1/4" screws provided.

4) Place on of the vertical door jambs on edge on the door face next to the hinges. Position thejamb so that the overhang is the same at the top and bottom of the door. Flip the hinges openso they lay flat against the 3 1/2" face of the jamb. Lift the jamb up until the back edge of thehinge plate is flush with the edge of the jamb. Attach the hinge to the jamb using only twoscrews, leave the middle hole empty (this is where the jamb will be attached to the door stud).These screws will protrude through the back of the jamb, but should not interfere with theinstallation of the door. See Hinge Detail 1 and 2.

5) Now flip the hinged jamb to the closed position. Attach the horizontal door jamb to thevertical jamb using either three - 1 3/4" nails or two - 2 1/2" screws provided (pre-drill holes if youuse the screws). Make sure that the horizontal jamb is flush with the end and edge of thevertical jamb.

6) Now attach the threshold to the bottom of the vertical jamb. The front of the threshold is theedge that has the 2 1/2" tabs ( these tabs go flush to the outside of the front wall panels). Keepthis edge facing the right way (this depends if your door swings in or out). Keep the inside edge ofthe threshold flush to the inside edge of the vertical jamb and the outside edge of the thresholdflush to the outside face of the vertical jamb. Nail or screw as in step 5. See Threshold Detail.

7) Attach the other vertical jamb in the same manner as the first.

8) Stand the door into the opening and make sure that the jambs are flush to the outside of thewall panels. Check the gap between the door and the jambs - it should be even around all sides. Ifnecessary, use the shims provided to shim the door behind each hinge in order to even out the gap(split the shims as required so that you will have enough). If the hinged jamb is tight to the doorstud and the gap around the door is even, the shims are not necessary. Open the door and attachthe jamb through the third hole in each hinge using the 2 1/2" screws provided.

9) Shim the other vertical jamb and door stud at the top, middle, and bottom. Make sure that thegap between the door and the jamb is even. Using 2 1/2" screws, attach the jamb to the shims anddoor stud. Center the screws in the middle of the jamb so that when the door stop is attached, itwill hide the screws.

10) Mount the lock set according to the manufacturer's instructions.

11) Close the door and place the vertical door stop on the left and right side of the door. Positionthe stop so that it is flush to the door face. Do not push the stop too tight to the door, as this willimpede the performance of the door and lock set. Nail the door stop to the jambs using five - 1 3/4"nails per stop. Nail the horizontal door stop between the tops of the vertical door stops (you maywish to temporarily shim the horizontal door jamb with scrap material to avoid forcing the jambsapart at the top).

12) Using four - 1 3/4" nails, attach the threshold support to the wall under the lip of the threshold.The ends should be flush with the ends of the threshold. See Door Layout Detail.

13) Place the vertical door casing on the threshold lip. Position the casing approximately 1/8" to1/4" from the inside edge of the jamb. Attach using five - 1 3/4" nails. Repeat for the other side ofthe door. See Door Casing Detail.

14) Center the horizontal door casing on top of the vertical casing and attach with three nails.
