Assembly Instructions & Manuals
Read Before Installation
Carefully review the assembly manual before starting the installation process. This will help you avoid mistakes and save time.
Important Recommendations
✔ Store the Package Properly – Keep the house package in a dry place, off the ground, and protected from moisture and sunlight. Do not store it in a heated room
✔ Choose a Stable Location – Select a site where the house won’t be exposed to extreme weather conditions (such as heavy snowfall or strong winds). If necessary, secure the house with anchors to the subsoil
✔ Protect the Wood – All timber elements are natural and require treatment with wood protection products to resist weather exposure
Tools Required for Assembly
To assemble your garden house, you will need:
✔ Assembly aid
✔ Level
✔ Utility knife
✔ Ladder
✔ Screwdriver
✔ Measuring tape
✔ Hammer
✔ Saw
✔ Pliers
✔ Drill
✔ Protective gloves
Preparation of Components
✔ Sort all parts according to the wall plans in the installation manual
✔ Place components around the house perimeter in installation sequence
⚠ Important: Never place components directly on grass or muddy ground, as this can make cleaning difficult or even impossible later.
Garden House Installation
✔ Foundation Preparation – Start by ensuring a level and square foundation. A concrete foundation is not required—you can use lightweight construction blocks, concrete slabs, or posts. These should be partially buried and leveled before assembling the house to prevent sinking
✔ Follow the Installation Manual – Every house comes with an installation manual, outlining each stage of construction and displaying wall element placement. Some of these instructions can be viewed on this page
Foundation Guidelines
✔ The foundation’s upper edge should extend at least 2 inches (5 cm) above ground level.
✔ Foundation joists should be supported at intervals no greater than 20-24 inches (50-60 cm).
✔ Ensure adequate air circulation under the house floor for proper ventilation.
Recommended Foundation Options:
✔ Screw Foundation – Quick and adjustable
✔ Strip or Spot (Pile) Foundation – Ideal for stability
✔ Concrete or Pavement Slabs – A durable and straightforward option
✔ Slab Foundation (Cast Concrete Bed) – Provides the strongest base
⚠ Note: Different houses require different foundation layouts—refer to the installation manual for specifics.

Treatment and care
⚠ Disclaimer: These are general recommendations for maintaining your Lasita Maja cabin. Proper care is essential to ensure longevity and safe operation. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a professional if you experience electrical or structural issues.
✔ Natural Wood Characteristics – Wood is a living material that expands and contracts with changing weather conditions. Cracks, knots, and variations in color or grain are natural occurrences and do not affect the durability or quality of the product
✔ Preventing Mold & Discoloration – Unprocessed wood (excluding foundation joists) naturally turns grey over time and may develop blue stains or mold if left untreated. To protect your investment, apply a high-quality wood preservative immediately after assembly or opt for a professional wood treatment service
✔ Floor Board Protection – Before assembly, treat the undersides of floorboards with a colorless wood impregnation agent to prevent moisture buildup. This step is essential, as these areas will be inaccessible after installation
✔ Doors & Windows Maintenance – To prevent warping and twisting, treat both the interior and exterior surfaces of doors and windows with a wood impregnation agent. Proper treatment helps maintain their structure and ensures smooth operation over time
✔ Final Weather Protection – Once your product is assembled, apply a weather-resistant paint or sealant to shield the wood from moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. This final protective layer will extend the lifespan of your structure significantly
✔ Painting Best Practices – For optimal results:
- Use premium-quality paint and tools
- Follow the paint manufacturer’s guidelines
- Avoid painting in direct sunlight or rainy conditions
- Seek advice from a specialist for the best paint options for untreated softwood
✔ Ongoing Maintenance – A biannual inspection is recommended to ensure your structure remains in excellent condition. Regular maintenance will help identify potential issues early, allowing for timely touch-ups and long-term durability
Lasita Maja – Paint System Care & Maintenance Guide
To ensure your colour-stained log cabin remains beautiful and protected for years to come, regular and proper maintenance of the painted surfaces is essential.
If you choose to handle maintenance yourself, please first review the general safety guidelines provided in the assembly instructions, along with the specific maintenance recommendations.
Routine Care
Keep the cabin surface clean with regular washing—this simple step significantly extends the life and appearance of your garden building. Perform an annual inspection to check for:
- Dirt or algae buildup
- Paint wear or delamination
- Surface damage
- Signs of UV exposure, especially on sun-facing sides
Also, ensure that no vegetation or plants are in contact with the cabin’s surface, as this can trap moisture and reduce ventilation, leading to premature paint failure.
Maintenance & Repainting Instructions
- Clean the affected surfaces using a suitable cleaning agent.
- Remove any loose, flaking, or porous paint layers using appropriate abrasive tools.
- Apply a maintenance coat using a high-quality brush. Make sure the paint is applied thickly and evenly.
- Let the surface dry thoroughly for at least 48 hours.
- Apply a second coat for optimal protection. Note: previously painted surfaces may absorb less paint, so take care not to overapply
By following these steps, you’ll protect your investment and enjoy the lasting beauty and durability of your Lasita Maja garden cabin for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a foundation for my garden cabin?
Yes, we highly recommend installing your cabin on a stable and level foundation that it can be securely anchored to. The ideal option is a concrete slab, which should be slightly smaller than the cabin's base—approximately 1–2 mm per side. It's crucial that the foundation is designed to withstand weather conditions such as rain, frost, and snow without shifting, lifting, or sinking over time.
What tools are required for assembly?
To assemble your garden cabin, you’ll need a range of standard tools, including:
✔ Phillips and/or Torx screwdrivers
✔ Cordless drill and wood drill
✔ Power drill
✔ Universal pliers
✔ Utility knife (e.g., Stanley knife)
✔ Saw
✔ Measuring tape or ruler
✔ Spirit level
✔ String
✔ Hammer
✔ Pencil
✔ Optional: wood glue, clamps, ladder
Important: All necessary screws and fittings are included in your kit. Assembly should be performed by two or more people.
Please also ensure that:
- Access roads can accommodate a 40-ton HGV (heavy goods vehicle)
- You’re reachable by phone to coordinate delivery
- A stable, level surface is available for unloading with a truck-mounted forklift
What should I check before ordering a cabin?
Before placing your order, check with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with any zoning or building regulations in your area. Requirements can vary depending on the location and intended use of the cabin.
What should I know before starting assembly?
Each cabin includes two manuals: a general assembly guide and a cabin-specific instruction set. Please read both thoroughly and inspect all parts against the parts list to ensure everything is present and undamaged.
Note: Wood is a natural material. Characteristics such as knots, small cracks, resin spots, or slight warping are normal and do not impact performance or durability.
For log cabin models (excluding system or panel cabins), do not screw boards tightly into the walls or doors—these components must remain flexible to accommodate natural expansion and contraction.
What if my cabin parts arrive damaged?
If any parts are damaged, you must file a written complaint within 14 days of delivery. To do so:
- Mark the damaged parts clearly on the parts list
- Include a copy of your purchase receipt and assembly instructions with control number
- Send all documentation to your dealer
- Include photos of the affected parts to support your claim
Your dealer will coordinate the resolution with us directly.
How do I protect my cabin for long-term use?
All cabins are delivered in untreated natural wood, so it's essential to apply a protective finish after assembly. Use a colorless wood preservative, and treat both interior and exterior surfaces of the cabin, doors, and windows.
We recommend environmentally friendly water-based wood treatments, with reapplication every 2 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance.
